520    "I have taken occasion, with the approval of Professor 
       Dewey, to put together a few of his contributions which 
       have not been published in this country, and which would 
       not come within the reach of English teachers unless 
       brought out in an inexpensive volume of this kind. The 
       first of these, which is at present out of print in the 
       United States, also gives the title to the volume, and I 
       am sanguine enough to believe that it will in days to come
       be recognized as an educational classic. The rest of the 
       book consists of a series of essays taken from The 
       Elementary School Record. [1 have added, in an Appendix, 
       particulars relating to this and other volumes, for the 
       sake of readers who are able to pursue their enquiries 
       further.] The Record consists of a series of monographs 
       sketching the courses of study which were pursued in this 
       University elementary school. Most of the numbers are out 
       of print, and I have no information as to whether it is 
       likely to be re-issued. I understand that when Professor 
       Dewey left Chicago a year ago to take the Chair of 
       Philosophy in Columbia, this school changed its character 
       and became incorporated with the larger Institute which 
       Chicago owes to Francis Parker; hence it may not be the 
       intention of Professor Dewey or of his late colleagues to 
       republish these papers, although the entire publication is
       of unique interest to students of education. The series of
       papers which I have selected are, in reality, studies in 
       genetic psychology. When read in succession as here 
       printed, they afford a view of certain features of 
       children's minds, as changing in aspect between the ages 
       of four and twelve. Some teachers, in their anxiety to 
       reap a harvest without the delays of spring and summer, 
       would rather have been supplied with the detailed courses 
       of study pursued by the children; but they will be better 
       advised to fasten their attention first upon the phenomena
       of child-life, and then copy Professor Dewey's example and
       seek to discover, by experiment, whether his 
       interpretations are of universal validity. And if I had 
       reprinted these courses of study, many of the details 
       would have been of little use to us in England: they 
       contain those local and temporary details to which I have 
       referred above, and would serve rather to distract the 
       student's attention from the main problem"--Introduction.
