Excerpt from Recitation as a Factor in Memorizing The present investigation was begun in the Psychological Laboratory of the University of California in the spring of 1916. The experiments in which children served as subjects were conducted in a public school in Oakland, California, while those upon adults were, for the most part, carried out in the Psychological Laboratory of Columbia University. The writer has been fortunate in having enjoyed, during the course of the work, endless encouragement, suggestions, and assistance from a large number of people. To Mr. N. Ricciardi, Principal of the school visited, I am indebted for the privilege of conducting the experiments upon his charges as well as for the ready help in arranging details for the work. To the many teachers whose class-rooms I invaded, I am indebted for the kindliest toleration and for a great deal of valuable assistance. My debt of gratitude to Professors G. M. Stratton and Warner Brown of the University of California and to Professors J. McKeen Cattell, R.S. Woodworth, E. L. Thorndike, H. L. Hollingworth, and Dr. A. T. Poffenberger of Columbia University, is very great. To my friend Charles E. Martin, I am indebted for valuable suggestions and criticisms in the preparation of the manuscript.

Excerpt from The Recitation To Teachers.- "The Recitation" has been given pamphlet form at the request of many teachers who have heard it in teachers' institutes. No effort has been made to describe just "How to Conduct a Recitation" by arranging in a formal order the steps of a recitation. In the hands of an incompetent or machine teacher, specific directions would soon degenerate into a dry, mechanical routine. No one can tell another just how he should do anything. However, an effort has been made to call the attention of young teachers to some of the characteristics of a good recitation.
