ABSTRACT

When and how a pupil attends is a matter of instinct and habit; there is no royal road to winning attention, but only the regular highway through the development of interest and the reward of acts of attention by some increment of satisfaction to the pupil. The principles of teaching with reference to attention are all implied in the chapter on interests and in a chapter to come on habit. There is no need to repeat them. Some corollaries of these principles may, however, be briefly mentioned.
