Reviews two volumes of the book "The Science of Society," by William Graham Sumner and Albert Galloway Keller.

The article focuses on three books "Psychological Principles Applied to Teaching," by William Henry Pyle, "The Decroly Class," by Amelie Hamaide and "Foundations of Educational Sociology," by Charles C. Peters. Three different lines of the development of the science of education are represented by these books. The first belongs to the class of useful compendiums published for practical workers requiring some knowledge of Psychology. It restates conclusions reached in the author's "Principles of Learning" and adds numerous practical illustrations from a wide variety of school subjects. Facts and principles are baldly stated. It is assumed that the reader will consult the "Principles of Learning" for evidence in support of these. The form of the book is that of a working manual. Alternate pages are blank. On these the teacher is advised to note illustrations of psychological facts and laws from her classroom experience. Thus the author's aim is to assist busy teachers by showing how Psychology applies in the situations with which they deal. The illustrations given by the author are not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather to be sufficiently representative to show how in general applications can be made.
