Description
| Summary: | "So startling have been the results of child study investigations that they are already forcing a restatement of several pedagogical principles and a general readjustment of school work and methods, particularly in the primary and intermediate grades. They are also greatly modifying the training of the children in many homes and are quickening the teachers to increased activity and to an interest in the child, which promises great things in the near future. The principal aim of this book has been to bring the subject within the comprehension of the average teacher and parent. Technical terms and scientific formulas have been avoided as much as possible. The desire to announce new principles has been wholly subservient to that of wishing to serve my fellow-workers by assisting them to a closer relationship with the child. Every chapter in this book is an attempt to organize the knowledge already possessed by those who know little or nothing of scientific psychology, and to assist them to inquiries which will give a clearer apprehension of the nature and possibilities of the child"--Foreword.
