Behavior as a whole is considered from the start; gradually it is subdivided and subdivided, so that finally such topics as "memory" or "attention" can be discussed without fixing in the mind of the student the idea that they are separate entities.

And in general the course is prepared on the assump- tion that the majority of students are never going to specialize in psychology and should consequently be given the most interest- ing and useful facts and principles of psychology, regardless of whether or not they are usually reserved for graduate students.

The course is conducted in a radically different way from that of prevailing courses.

The student is immediately introduced to problems of behavior taken as a whole and only after he is fairly familiar with psychological procedure, terminology and point of view is he given his psychological background.

The even numbered lessons present problems to be solved and the odd num- bered lessons supply in a general way answers to the problems, together with a broader interpretation of the facts than the average student will discover for himself.
