The following papers are published chiefly because they treat in aconcrete and personal manner some of the principles which the writer hasdeveloped in two previously published books, The Educative Process andClassroom Management, and in a forthcoming volume, EducationalValues. It is hoped that the more informal discussions presented in thefollowing pages will, in some slight measure, supplement the theoreticaland systematic treatment which necessarily characterizes the otherbooks. In this connection, it should be stated that the materials of thefirst paper here presented were drawn upon in writing Chapter XVIII ofClassroom Management, and that the second paper simply states in adifferent form the conclusions reached in Chapter I of The EducativeProcess.
The writer is indebted to his colleague, Professor L.F. Anderson, formany criticisms and suggestions and to Miss Bernice Harrison forinvaluable aid in editing the papers for publication. But his heaviestdebt, here as elsewhere, is to his wife, to whose encouraging sympathyand inspiration whatever may be valuable in this or in his other booksmust be largely attributed.
