Excerpt from How Children Learn The application of some of the facts which are presented is inherent in the statements themselves. If the whole method of memorizing is better than the part method in certain cases, then in such cases the whole method should be used. In a good many other instances, where the applica' tion is not so obvious, some application has been suggested. But a grasp of the principles of mental growth prepares the teacher in some measure to make his own application. To furnish the teacher with devices has its place, but the teacher who is equipped only with devices lacks the means of initia tive and development. The reason that psychology has been of so little use to teachers is not so much the fact that the application has been left wholly to him, though this is nu doubtedly one reason, as that the kind of facts that have been given are not such as could be applied. The effort has been made in this volume to present brie¿y those general facts and principles of mental growth which have most direct application to the problems of teaching, and to give the student sufficient suggestion regarding their application to enable him to continue the process of application himself.
