Excerpt from An Introduction to the Theory of Mental and Social MeasurementsExperience has sufficiently shown that the facts of human nature can be made the material for quantitative science.

Excerpt from The Human Nature Club: An Introduction to the Study of Mental LifeIt goes without saying that the author is indebted to psychological literature in general so far as he is acquainted with it. In particular he is indebted to the writings and teachings of Professor William James, who is so often paraphrased in this book. The debt to Professor James is so evident that it seems unnecessary to point out the many places where his formul...

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Theory of Mental and Social MeasurementsI had hoped, consequently, that this book, having played a part in stimulating intelligent quantitative work in the mental and social sciences, would suffer a natural death. It is the case, how ever, that for the great majority of students of psychology, sociology and education, the abstract mathematical treatment, characteristic of the first two books mentioned, is ou...

Excerpt from The Principles of TeachingThe book demands of students knowledge of the ele ments of psychology, particularly of dynamic psychology.
