Excerpt from The Study of Children and Their School Training This work is addressed chiefly to teachers, parents, and others in daily contact with children; but contains information that is likely to interest those engaged in directing education, philanthropy, and other forms of social work as well as those concerned with mental science. The book has been written in the hope of aiding an advance in the care of children, and in the practice of educational methods, by promoting a more exact study and classification of the children to be cared for and trained; while giving an account of some conditions of childhood in its many varieties as seen from the standpoint of the observer who records what he sees as in other branches of physical science. For the purposes of observation, a clear account of the points to look at, what to look for, and what may be seen, normal or subnormal, forms the alphabet of our subject. Child study has of late years been actively carried on in America and in other countries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Child Training This book sets forth a system of training for a child under school age and lays out a course of lessons and drills that can be given a class or an individual by either the trained or the untrained teacher or par ent. It may recall the principles or theories of Come nius, Locke, Rousseau, Pestalozzi, Herbart, Froebel, James and others, but its practical applications are the result of many years' specializing in the education of young children.

Excerpt from Child Study for Teacher-Training One cherished purpose Oi our outline study of human naure, the child, the boy, the youth, is to inspire further original Observation by every teacher. To aid him we give some methods and results of other teachers' studies, but he needs the life-giving impression which comes only from personal investigation of the child mind and soul. He should do it very wisely and scientifically, testing his results by standard works on these subjects. Every lesson of this book should be studied at home and recited so that there will be mastery of the subject, but after that let there be a full discussion in round tables. The leader or some invited lecturer should occasionally develop the topics further. A list of excellent books for reference is given at the end of this book. This text-book is the companion of the author's Bible Studies for Teacher Training, and together they furnish the fullest outline studies extant on the several subjects usually embraced in Normal Courses for Sunday school teachers.

Excerpt from Educating the Child at Home: Personal Training the Work Habit By writing this book in plain English it is hoped to reach two results: Firstly. To open the preserves of pedagogy and child-psychology to those who, though naturally most intensely interested in the subject, arc deterred therefrom by the forbidding phraseology wherein it has hitherto been discussed and presented. Secondly. To help mothers to resume and do their sacred duty by their children instead of shirking it and delegating it to the school. All that I have written is based upon actual practical experience and study. Like the long search for the Promised Land is the search for an efficient school, while the great opportunity of home instruction and education is ignored. Where shall I find the best school for my children? Teach them yourself the things you know and can do. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Care and Training of Children Knowing the individual child, the parent will be prepared, as no one else can be, to cope with any condition which may arise in its training. Further than this, the knowl edge so acquired will prove helpful in situa tions in which a stranger must be called in for help. In all matters pertaining to child study and child life, broad general principles can be laid down, but there must be, in addi tion to this, study of personality in order to carry principles out in detail. A careful reading of the several chapters of this book will readily Show that, even a conscientious carrying out of the principles suggested in securing right conduct in children, will often result in failure unless the particular needs of the individual child are studied and met.
