A founder and leader of the child-study movement in such works as The Contents of Children's Minds (1883) and Adolescence (2 vols. 1904), he was also a prolific and influential writer on secondary and higher education and, particularly after 1911, psychology, and he strongly influenced the development of educational psychology in America.
