From the Preface: "Psychology is firmly established as a science; and though it must still be regarded as being in an experimental and theoretical stage, nevertheless, many explanations have been arrived at, and many laws have been satisfactorily proved. Valuable classifications of types of thinking and behavior have been made. Reflexes, instincts, memory, sensations, emotions, and many other phases of mental life are comprehended to a certain extend, and these are all matters specific enough to be understood by the more youthful intelligence.

This book is designed especially for the younger students. This book has given only that side of psychology which, through experiment and observation, has a definite scientific basis for its various conclusions."
