This new work has been prepared in the belief that the greatest need of 

 the student of our educational history is a considerable mass of definite fact 

 upon which to base his own generalizations, or with which to interpret those 

 of others, rather than extended philosophical discussions of historical trend. 

 Current educational literature is rich in the latter, though comparatively barren 

 of the former. The present book deals, therefore, with ihefact rather than 

 with the philosophy of education in the United States. It contains an excep- 

 tionally valuable equipment of references and bibliographies.

This Yolume is a connected series of discussions on the foundations of 

 education in the related sciences of biology, physiology, sociology, psychology, 

 and philosophy. It is not another of the many current manuals of practice, 

 but a thoroughgoing interpretation of the nature, place, and meaning of educa- 

 tion in our world. The newest points of view in the realms of natural and 

 mental science are applied to the understanding of educational problems. The 

 field of education is carefully divided, and the total discussion is devoted to 

 the philosophy of education, in distinction from its history, science, and 

 art. The conceptions of evolution, society, and genetic psychology shed their 

 light upon educational phenomena, yielding in the end a comprehensive defi- 

 nition of what education is. The various conflicting modern educational 

 opinions are organized to a considerable extent, and are made to appear as 

 partial truths of a common system. The whole is suffused with the spirit of an 

 idealistic philosophy in which education is finally made to yield its ultimate 

 meaning as to the origin, nature, and destiny of man.
