Reviews the book, Experiments and Exercises in Educational Psychology by Harvey A. Peterson (1925). The reviewer states that this book of experiments and exercises is designed to meet the needs of students who are preparing to become teachers. The experiments cover a wide range of subject-matter and vary in technique from the use of standard tests, concretely defined, to attempts at subjective estimates of purposing in the acquisition of motor skills. The reviewer states that the majority of the experiments are objective and require the application of statistical methods and carefully controlled experimental procedure. The materials are so organized that the experiments may be directed by students. The directions are concise and carefully worded and report sheets are supplied for each experiment.
