Excerpt from Textbook Selection At a time when a new emphasis upon motivation is being made, Dr. Knight's study Of students' choices in literature is very timely. We have only begun to appreciate the importance of utilizing the method of judgments of choices under properly controlled condi tions. Certain aspects Of learning are particularly in need of just such appraisals.

Dr. Franzen's investigation was made in the practical emergency of text book selection.
