This article focuses on the book "The Normal Mind. An Introduction to Mental Hygiene and the Hygiene of School Instruction," by William H. Burnham. The early chapters of the book are devoted to an examination, explanation, and evaluation of the conditioned reflex concept, and are followed by discussions of the school task, mental attitudes, suggestion and education, inhibition, association and discipline. The essential characteristic of the normal mind Burnham finds to be integration, and he conceives of education not so much as a scheme for filling the mind as a process for the cultivation of attitudes.
