It was out of place before since it treated facts of mental action in general instead of facts of individual mental conditions and their causes. It was put in the original book because of the great practical importance of the facts concerned. The facts are now widely known and are presented conveniently elsewhere. This book attempts to apply to a number of educational problems the methods of exact science. The problems chosen are those of the mental natures of individual men, and the causes of their differences. The problems concerned with the nature of man as a species, the general problems of instinct, habit, learning, practice, memory, fatigue and the like. will sometime be treated in a separate volume. The two together will. I hope, be a serviceable quantitative treatment of educational psycholog .
