Review of Educational Psychology

Abstract

Reviews the book, Educational Psychology by A. M. Jordan (New York: Henry Holt and Company. 460 pp). Professor Jordan has written a readable educational psychology--an achievement of no mean proportion in a field which bristles with statistical and technical studies. To do this he has not made his book a compilation of quotations from original studies but has digested these studies and retold them with a moderate number of original tables and occasional quotations. Such a procedure is almost sure to lose something of the precision of a source book but the compensating gains in clarity, coherence and unity are well worth any such sacrifice made in this book.
