Excerpt from Psychology in the Schoolroom

We have all heard of Physiology and know that it is called a Science. We know too that Physiology deals with the functions of the various parts of the body. By casual observation men have learned some elementary facts regarding the working of the body, e.g., that the heart beats, that the lungs take in air, etc. Such knowledge is called Common Knowledge. But many errors exist in common knowledge; thus, it is popularly supposed that the heart is on the left of the chest. Common Knowledge needs correction. Again common knowledge does not go very far. Every one knows that the lungs take in air, but comparatively few understand what purposes are served by respiration. Common Knowledge then needs amplification and extension. Common Knowledge made more precise, more extensive and more systematic is called Science.

We all know we have a something within us which feels, and thinks, and acts, and we call this something the Mind. Now we can study the mind in much the same way as we can study the body. We can begin with popular ideas about the mind, we can examine them, correct them, extend them, classify them, and arrive at a science which deals with the workings of the mind. This science is called Mental Science or Psychology.

Thus we have:-

Physiology.
The Science dealing with the working of the Body.

Psychology.
The Science dealing with the working of the Mind.
