Extract

1. It is a commonplace of Biological Science that each individual, in his physical development, reproduces in an abridged form the successive stages through which the race has passed in its remote history. Educational experience suggests that a similar process occurs in mental development, so that, generally speaking, ideas have to be introduced in the order of their historical occurrence, if unnecessary resistance is not to be encountered.
