To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"The lecture course for beginners should be based upon the established facts of psychology, should abstain from waJidering far afield from these facts, excepting in cases where it seems wise to familiarize the student with well-established theory, and should see to it that the students in the course possess a definite knowledge of these facts" (u). "[Psychology is] usually taught in the introductory course too much as detached descriptive matter, and not sufficiently related to the laboratory o...f the mind — hence, psychological attitude is not developed" (n). "The average course in psychology is something apart from life" (m). "In my experience and limited observation, psychology is going the way of physics — becoming too technical in the beginning courses" (n) . Further illustrations will be given under ''Logical sequence of advanced courses. " Your committee will not attempt an ex cathedra judgment on this complex question. We believe the opinion of the majority and especially of the more experienced members of the Association would be against laying great stress on laboratory training in the first course, except as a supplementary elective or alternative course, ex- pressly designed to meet the needs of future laboratory students.
