Review of Learning to Typewrite with a Discussion of the Psychology of Skill

Abstract

Reviews the book, Learning to Typewrite with a Discussion of the Psychology of Skill by William F. Book (1925). This volume is addressed to teachers of typewriting and to those preparing to teach the subject. The material for the study represents the fruit of several years of investigation and conferences with experts in this skill. The three-part discussion supplies the reader with a comprehensive statement of the analysis of the practical and theoretical problems involved in teaching typewriting as well as the general laws of learning any skill. On the whole the book serves a special function in our educational literature and deserves to be imitated in other fields where the acquisition of skill is the major consideration.
