Candidates for the A.B. degree of Columbia University may specialize for the last year in the department of pedagogy. They are required to take two subjects, one as major or principal subject, one as minor subject. A third optional subject may be taken. To gain a Diploma of the Teachers’ College, a two years’ course of study is required. This includes: i. Elements of Psychology--“a course to give skill in description and explanation of mental phenomena and insight into the observing and training of children.” ii. Educational Theories since the Renaissance, with a general survey of earlier theories. iii. A course in Psychology, History of Education, or in Principles of Logic and Psychology as applied to Science and Manual Training. iv.

For those not qualified, by training or academic standing, to pursue the ordinary work of the college, it has been found advisable to arrange an introductory course to occupy one year. The preparatory course includes the study of English, an introduction to science, either drawing, domestic science, or wood-carving, and either constructive geometry, with the solution of original problems, or one branch of science with laboratory work. I spent several days in this college and heard some of the teaching in psychology, and in science. The psychology and history of education are both two years’ courses. In psychology the students begin by learning to make records of their individual observation of children. The chief use of psychology to the teacher is regarded as
