Education at the British Association

Abstract

AFTER the president's address (published in NATURE of September 15), the first paper on the programme was on the present educational position of logic and psychology, by Miss E. E. C. Jones, in which attention was directed to the fact that, on the one hand, logical and psychological studies hold a position of growing importance in English thought and education, while, on the other hand, the quality and organisation of the instruction supplied leave much to be desired. Some logic and psychology are now required for teachers’ training examinations; it is also desirable that all students of religious doctrine or of the great questions of philosophy should be equipped with logical method and psychological knowledge.
