A Journal of Educational Psychology.

Announcement is made that in January, 1910, will be published the first number of a Journal of Educational Psychology, including experimental pedagogy, child psychology and hygiene, and educational statistics. The editors are W. C. Bagley, University of Illinois, J. Carleton Bell (Managing Editor), Brooklyn Training School for Teachers, C. E. Seashore, State University of Iowa, and Guy Montrose Whipple, Cornell University, assisted by a staff of thirty-eight collaborators. The Psychological Clinic extends a hearty welcome to the Journal of Educational Psychology, and wishes all success to its editors. It must regret, therefore, the necessarily depressing effect upon the teacher of the promised symposium on how psychology “may be made most fruitful for those engaged in the actual work of the schools.” Surely after one hundred and fifty years of special articles, monographs and even treatises on the subject, we ought to be able to assume without discussion that psychology is the basis of education. Why not ask each contributor to the symposium to write on the topic: “What I have dorfe [not am going to do, or, thinlc ought to be done] to make psychology really useful in the school room.”
