| Abstract: | Reviews seven books on educational psychology. The first book reviewed is "Educational Psychology," by Glenn M. Blair R. Stewart Jones, and Ray H. Simpson (see record 1954-07938-000). The second book reviewed is "Principles of Educational Psychology," by W.D. Commins, and Barry Fagin (see record 1955-01422-000). The third book reviewed is "Educational Psychology," by Lee J. Cronbach (see record 1954-07941-000). The fourth book reviewed is "Psychology for Modern Education," by James L. Mursell (see record 1953-02945-000). The fifth book reviewed is "Introduction to Educational Psychology," by Clellen L. Morgan, H.H. Remmers, and Einer R. Ryden (see record 1954-08965-000). The sixth book reviewed is "Psychology in Teaching," by Henry P. Smith (see record 1955-01434-000). The last book reviewed is third edition of "Psychology in Education," by Herbert Sorenson (see record 1954-08966-000). Either explicitly or by implication, the authors are saying that the conceptual schemes that now hold the center of the stage in the laboratories are not, in their present stage of development, useful to them as educational psychologists, and that as a result they have had to develop and use others.
