different types of organization develop; third, courses in Educational Psychology and Mental Development; fourth, courses in Educational Methods; and fifth, courses in General Principles of Education and Special Problems. Attention should be called, in connection with this last-mentioned group, to a large number of courses that are offered for teachers in other departments of the University. Such courses deal with the methods of arranging the subject-matter of these special departments. The intimate relation of the general courses in Education to various other scientific departments may also be pointed out. The courses in Psychology furnish an important introduction to the special work in Educational Psychology as well as to the courses in general principles and methods. Biological sciences furnish a general background for the study of psychological and educational problems. The Department of Sociology and Anthropology contributes to the special discussions of social problems as related to Education; and the general principles of Philosophy are constantly involved in the treatment of educational and social organizations. The University High School (academic and manual training), enrolling about five hundred and sixty pupils, and the University Elementary School, with about four hundred pupils, constitute a laboratory for scientific research in educational problems. The most intimate relation is maintained between the Graduate Department of Education and these schools. In addition to the apparatus of the general experimental laboratory of the Department of Psychology, there is in the School of Education a small collection of apparatus for demonstration and an adequate supply of experimental apparatus for investigation of special problems, such as are announced in the courses in Educational Psychology. The officers of the School of Education edit two journals: The School Review, which deals with the problems of secondary education, and The Elementary School Teacher, which deals with problems of elementary education.
