Excerpt from Psychology for Teachers We appear to have applied psychology to the teaching of every subject except psychology itself. In this direction, there is large room for development. One of the chief purposes of this book is to present psychology psychologically. Usually, all the student's work before beginning this subject has been objective. To plunge him headlong into subjective phenomena is too much like the method of teaching swimming by throwing the learner overboard. "From the known to the unknown": the old rule holds. The method here adopted consists in (1) passing from the familiar picture of man in his common environment to a study, with genetic sidelights, of "Body, Brain, and Mind, " (2) showing the relation of adjustment between "The Mental and the Environmental, " and (3) explaining, in the study of "Mind, Nervous System, and Behavior, " how the neuro-mental governing and steering system accomplishes its complex task of adjustment. In this way we complete the sensori-motor circle, inward from body to mind, outward from mind to behavior. The frequently found plan of isolating the discussion of the nervous system in a separate chapter has not been followed. Such knowledge is better assimilated and applied if presented in direct connection with the most closely related mental facts.
