Excerpt from Education and Life: Papers and Addresses The papers and addresses constituting this vol ume were prepared for various occasions. They naturally fall into two groups: papers on Education, and addresses that come under the broader title of Education and Life. The subjects of the first group are arranged in a somewhat logical order, namely: a general view of the field, especially as Seen by Plato; Secondary education and its relation to the elementary and higher; some principles and prob lems of the elementary and secondary periods; higher education; the practical bearing of all mental development.

This work is an attempt to present, with applications, the more important principles of Psychology in a clear and concise form, arranged for High and Normal schools and adapted to the use of teachers and the general reader. The plan of the work, formed several years since, and pursued throughout the period of its preparation, is as follows :1. The topics are selected for their essential importance, and are treated concisely. 2. Such metaphysical discussion as does not belong to an elementary work is omitted or placed in footnotes. The importance of Physiological Psychology is duly regarded. 3. Practical applications of the science are made toE ducation and the Conduct of Life. 4. In connection with Thinking an outline of Logic is presented. 6. The presentation of many of the topics is inductive in the sense that typical instances precede the statement of principles. For emphasis and convenience the definitions and many principles, summaries, and inferences are printed in different type. 8. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.

Excerpt from Of Himself and Other Things Bill Nye used a favorite anecdote in his public entertainments. He had a dog that in his ramblings came across a pail of plaster of paris of the right consistency for immediate use. He thought it edible and inviting, and, since he had never seen any before, he ate a good deal. The result was a plaster impression of himself, taken by himself, from an interior view. It may be that no biography is complete without the interior as well as the exterior view. If a different universe walks under your hat and mine universe A may wish to contribute to B's possible interpretation of A. It may be presumptuous to suppose that B considers the matter worth while or even thinks about it at all, and only a great man can proclaim, like Sam Johnson, that he would pre vent the writing of his life by taking the life of the suspected biographer. If a man writes his life himself, he thereby, as it were, takes his life in his hands. Why write it, unless you have a history um doubtedly worth recording? Is a natural question. But minor values may be worthy of a degree and extent of interest. A memorandum of events and thoughts, made by some humble ancestor, is treasured in the family. A somewhat noteworthy career reaches a larger circle. The genius commands wide interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

He was born on a farm near Harmony, Maine, the son of Wesley and Lucy (Hutchins) Baker, both natives of Maine. A background of stern and rockbound coast, a family English and Revolutionary, childhood and youth passed on a small New England farm, these had implications of ruggedness of body and lankness of limb; of shyness and stubborn aggressiveness; of sound integrity.
Twenty weeks a year in the red schoolhouse, a short term in a private academy, the formal clean-cut drill of the Latin school preparatory for college, four years and the B. A. degree in 1873 at Bates College, Lewiston, Maine. , interspersed with terms of country-school teaching; the result was a New England schoolmaster of the seventies.
Two years as principal at Yarmouth, Maine, in a public school just evolved from an academy, in the transition stage between the aristocratic Latin school and democracy's high school, sent Baker to his physician, who advised him to go West. Appointed principal of the Denver High School in 1874, he continued there seventeen years. To this pioneer high school in the West he gave a standing in character and scholarship that was recognized by great eastern colleges. January 1892 saw him president of the University of Colorado at Boulder, an institution fifteen years old with sixty-six students. He labored there for twenty-two years, building and reenforcing.
In 1914 he retired, his eye undimmed, his natural forces unabated, leaving a university of 1, 306 students and an able faculty, with a standing among class A universities. Baker proposed in the National Education Association the Committee of Ten whose report in 1893 offered the first comprehensive program of secondary education. In 1907 in the same organization he proposed the Committee on Economy of Time in Education. The report of this committee of which he was chairman, delayed till 1913, had no small influence on the nation-wide organization of junior high schools and in the development of the junior college.
He published Elementary Psychology (1890); Education and Life (1900); American Problems (1907); Educational Aims and Civic Needs (1913); University Reform and College Progress Relative to School and Society (1916); After the War What? (1918); Of Himself and Other Things (1922). He was president of the National Council of Education in 1892 and of the National Association of State Universities in 1907. At the time of his death in Denver he had just completed plans as editor for the writing of the history of Colorado under the auspices of the State Historical Society as a feature of the semi-centennial anniversary of the state's admission to the Union. A week before his death he remarked, "I anticipate no early taking off, but should anything happen my part of the writing is practically finished. "
