Excerpt from Education as Adjustment: Educational Theory Viewed in the Light of Contemporary Thought IN this volume I have sought to discuss in a rather untechnical and popular way the meaning, aim and general method of education when viewed from the standpoint of contemporary biological, sociological, and psychological thought. It has been my purpose to interpret for a theory of education principles established in several sciences, from which, I think, the education ist must most largely gather the materials for the build ing of his structure. Whatever originality the book pos sesses will be found mainly in the manner in which it organizes and interprets data derived from different fields of investigation, and I trust it may in this respect seem, alike to the scientist and to the practical person, to make some slight contribution to a sound philosophy of education.
