Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Facts in Partial Justification of the So-Called Dogma of Discipline This paper substantially as printed was read before the Illinois School Masters' Club at Peoria, Oct.8, 1909. On the following morning the question of formal discipline was discussed. President David Felmley of the Illinois State Normal University, leading. There seemed to be a substantial agreement that transfer of training was possible to a greater or less degree, and that it was best accomplished by making the habit set up a conscious end of action. President Felmley disagreed with the speaker of the previous evening chiefly on two points: (1) That a "generalized" habit was possible and (2) That pure science had a superior value to applied science. In the light of President Felmley's discussion these two topics in the paper have been slightly amplified. Otherwise the paper is printed as read.
