The New Education

This is a Book of Psychology. The book tells about educational Psychology. "Everybody is doing it", said a high school principal the other day. "I look through the new books and I find it; it stands out prominently in technical as well as in popular magazines; even the educational papers are taking it up, -everybody seems to be whacking the schools. Yesterday I picked up a funny sheet on which there were four raps at the schools. One in particular that I remember ran something like this, - "'James, ' said the teacher, 'if Thomas has three red apples and William has five yellow apples, how many apples have Thomas and William?' "James looked despondent. "'Don't you know?' queried the teacher, 'how much three plus five is?' "'Oh, yes, ma'am, I know the answer, but the formula, ma'am, -it's the formula that appals me'.
