In this address to the American Psychological Association, the President examines the relation of psychology to social practice, focusing primarily on the relation of psychology to education. The main point is whether the standpoint of psychological science, as a study of mechanism, is indifferent and opposed to the demands of education with its free interplay of personalities in their vital attitudes and aims. The psychologist, in his most remote and technical occupation with mechanism, is contributing his bit to the ordered knowledge which alone enables mankind to secure a larger and to direct a more equal flow of values in life.
