Excerpt from The Thorndike Arithmetics, Vol. 2 How much is two thirds of $75 less 10% of itself is how much? And What percent of 40 is 32? These exercises in equation form with missing numbers are harder than routine drills with question and answer, but are more productive of ability, and of ability of a higher type. They also penalize mere memoriter acquisition and serve as an ideally clear, brief, and unrestricted form for mental imagery of...

Excerpt from Handwriting Handwriting may profitably be studied from three points of view: that of the physiology and psychology of movement, that of the part it may play in the intelligently directed activities of child life in schools, - and that of the direct examination of the quality and speed of handwriting secured by various forms of school training. But to any study of it there is one very desirable preliminary some means of measuring ...

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Theory of Mental and Social Measurements I 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 ...

Excerpt from Education: A First Book This book furnishes an introduction to the study of education. It is, as entitled, a beginner's book. It will, I hope, prepare students in colleges and normal schools to see the significance of their more specialized studies in educational psychology and sociology, methods of teaching and class management, the history of educational theory and practice, and the applications of philosophy and ethics to educ...

Excerpt from Animal Intelligence: Experimental Studies It has seemed best to leave the texts unaltered except for the correction of typographical errors, renumbering of tables and figures, and redrawing the latter. In a few places, where the original text has been found likely to be misunderstood, brief notes have been added. It is hard to resist the impulse to temper the style, especially of the Animal Intelligence, ' with a certain sobriety...
