Recommended PSYCHOLOGY: From the Standpoint of a Behaviorist By Dr. JOHN B. WATSON, Professor of Psychology, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. 429 Pages. Illustrated. $3.00. HIGH AND ADVANCED SCHOOLS. A TEXT FROM THE MODERN VIEWPOINT:-Every teacher of Psychology, whether or not he may favor the study of the subject from the objective standpoint, will read it with profound interest. From beginning to end a constructive attitude is maintained and, where possible, the material employed has been gathered by objective methods. No field, however, at present belonging to psychology, is neglected. The text takes the position that psychology is a scientific study of human behavior, of the acts that man does through his original nature and hence apart from training, the acts which he can later do by reason of the putting on and retaining suitable habits. The importance of studying the individual in the light of his instructive equipment, the environment in which he has had to grow up, the system of habit which he has had to put on, and the stability of his emotional life are all emphasized. The illustrations in the anatomical section have been prepared with great care and a number of the drawings were made under the direct supervision of Max Broedel.

It is of special value to teachers and school administrators, as it gives a thorough discussion of many of their fundamental problems. It gives the student an understanding of just how the most modern applications are made, in some very important instances, and a definite idea of the results achieved. The volume makes an excellent text for supplementing a course in general psychology or in any special branch where the scientific treatment of intelligence is regarded as important.

A. vii Invention Anticipates Necessity The research laboratory of the General Electric Company at Schenectady is dedicated to the electrical industry. Its facilities for scientific research, almost coextensive with the scope of electrical industry itself, surpass in variey and extent the equipment of university laboratories. Scientific experimentation proceeds hand in hand with the development of new devices and new methods of manufacture. The result of this industrial research-the cooperation of science and industry-is first, the increase of scientific knowledge, and second, the embodiment of this increment in better materials and new devices which ultimately make happier and more livable the life of all mankind.

The refractive index is read directly from the graduated circle, with an accuracy of from one to two units in the fourth decimal place. When used with white light, the dispersion is neutralized by the Abbe compensator, the mount of which is graduated, permitting measurements of mean dispersion. For this purpose a table of dispersion and conversion value is furnished with each instrument. We supply a hot-water heater and water pressure tank for use with this instrument when it is necessary to maintain a given temperature, but these are not included in the price below. 45778.
