"Developing Mental Power," a monograph by G. M. Stratton, is as delightful and stimulating a book for teacher as has appeared since James' Talks. Reviewing the extreme views on mental training, the mental disciplinarians and the doctrine of "contents," the author submits that both have missed the truth. It is urged that the mind is unified and although its parts are distinguishable they are closely related. The mind while particularized in ability is whole and fluid. The development of mental power is to be achieved by practice in control of the instincts, emotions, and the will, together with the acquisition of appropriate bodily and mental habits. Children must learn, through practice, to do the irksome, to be persistent and steady, to use caution and forethought, to develop reverence, taste, cheerfulness, courtesy, honesty. Many "exercises" for the care and training of the instincts, emotions and will are given, not on the disciplinarian assumption of the virtue of unpleasant and useless tasks since "the mind can strengthen on what is of service and delight, of which there is enough, without incessant treadmill work. Better to paint the ship, for discipline, than to knock rust off the anchor." Every teacher should spend an evening with this sane and stimulating essay which does not emphasize knowledge less but character more. -"Journal of Educational Psychology"
