Concerning the general position of psychology amongst other sciences and in relation to the arts, the facts given in this chapter emphasize the incorrectness of the common notion of psychology as a study apart from the recognized sciences and devoid of meaning for the practical affairs of life. On the contrary psychology is intimately connected with the biological and social sciences and is likely in the future to become one of the most useful of them to the practical man.

TOPICS FOR SPECIAL STUDY

The topics and references given below are chosen to meet the needs of students in their first year of psychological work, who wish or need to make an intensive study of several topics. Those marked (A) may conveniently be studied by all students and even before any textbook is completed. Those marked (B) should in most cases be studied only by interested and capable students and after the text-book is nearly or quite completed.

The aim in the selection of references has been not only to name books and articles by thoroughly qualified experts, but also to name only those which are not too advanced for college students, which can be readily obtained by the ordinary college or normal school class, and which exist in an English text. Books known to be out of print, such as Galton's 'Inquiries into Human Faculty,' are for this reason rejected; and articles in periodicals which the student would be unable to buy and of which a single copy or none would be found in his institution's library, are used very sparingly. It is unfortunately true that not one in fifty amongst college and normal school students of psychology can read a technical book in a foreign language. All the books referred to may well be bought for the library of any institution which offers instruction in psychology.

In some cases the reference is not to pages to be read but to sets of experiments to be done. Such cases are marked Experimental.
