Synopsis
How We Learn: A Short Primer Of Scientific Method For Boys" by William Henry Samuel Jones. This early Cambridge University Press primer presents a compact, accessible guide to how knowledge is formed and verified. It treats knowledge as the organized interpretation of sense impressions, stored in memory, and put into orderly relation with past experience. The book defines a thought as a judgment and lays out how judgments are tested against reality, distinguishing grammar, logic, and scientific method. It introduces induction and deduction, explaining that induction builds generalizations from facts, while deduction applies those generalizations to new cases. The text emphasizes careful observation, avoidance of haste, and the testing of hypotheses through experiments and comparison with evidence. It covers how to weigh evidence, assess credibility (intrinsic versus extrinsic), and avoid fallacies. It also discusses precision of language, definitions, and the role of metaphor in science, urging a disciplined habit of truth-seeking and clear communication. Publication year 1916 is noted.
