There is no reason why hypnosis should not be applied in such a way to countless other problems, whenever its possible usefulness is indicated. Hypnotism, old as it is in irregular practice, is a newcomer to science and a very deserving and promising one. Superstition, either in favor of it or in opposition to it, is a vicious obstacle to the advance of knowledge.
The field of education is totally new to the hypnotist. The little work which I have done in it, however, has made me appreciate its potential significance. Though it is too early as yet to draw any specific conclusions from my experimental research begun several years ago, nevertheless certain general and fairly obvious considerations left no doubt in my mind that suggestion, ordinary and hypnotic, is of inestimable value for the school.
