ABSTRACT

Students who are for the first time meeting instruction of a psychological nature rather regularly pass through two stages. In the first stage, they learn what is being taught about psychology just as they learn the other things. In the second stage, they begin to wonder—yes but is it true, is it real, how do we know? In the second stage, the psychological teaching begins to separate out from the other as something that can’t just be learnt. In the matter of physical health and the prevention of disease, there is plenty of room for instruction, and this corresponds with what the author have referred to as students gaining instruction in such things as the Children’s Act. Perhaps people have been teachers, or people have actually been parents, or students have had charge of people in an office or a factory.
