Items related to Talks To Teachers On Psychology: And To Students On...
In writing these “Talks” out, the author has gradually weeded out as much as possible of the analytical technicalities of the science. In their present form they contain a minimum of what is deemed “scientific” in psychology and are practical and popular in the extreme.
“He combines, better than most writers, the thoroughly scientific with the truly practical, having something of value on every page for every teacher of every grade.” -L. H. Jones, Superintendent of Schools, Cleveland, Ohio
“The psychology that forms the basis of the ‘Talks’ is presented in beautifully clear and simple English and well illustrated by examples drawn from the field of common observation. One can hardly help feeling as he reads that if psychology is not here shorn of its terrors for teachers, no other writer need hope to accomplish that task.” -The Dial
“It is an admirable book – frank, suggestive, stimulating, like everything else the author has written.” -J. P. Gordy, Professor in Ohio State University, Columbus
“James is a genius. His mental touch is quickening; his style grips attention; his thoughts teem with suggestion. He is a whole-souled, genial, witty man, as well as a great psychologist. A wizard at putting things.” -The Wooster Post-Graduate and Quarterly
“A work of absorbing interest.” -Boston Transcript
“His style has the quality of a communicable fervor, a clear, grave passion of sincerity and conviction.” -The Nation
“When pedagogical libraries can show a preponderance of such books, they may well begin to rival the fiction departments in popularity.” -The Critic
