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 Hints on Child-Training Whatever theory of child-training may show itself in these Hints, has been arrived at by induc tion in the process of my experiences with children since I had to deal with the matter practically, apart from any preconceived view of the principles involved. Every suggestion in these Hints is an outcome of experiment and observation in my life as a father and a grandfather, while it has been carefully considered in the light of the best lessons of practical educators on every side. These Hints were begun for the purpose of giv ing help to a friend. They were continued because of the evident popular interest in them. They are sent out in this completed form in the hope that they will prove of service to parents who are feel ing the need of something more practical in the realm of child-training than untested theories.

Excerpt from Training the Children There is a new training. It is better than the old training. It is based on the self-activity of the child. It believes in the child. It respects his rights. It supplies him with the conditions and materials by which the best elements in his nature grow to be the dominant elements in his power and character. It makes him positive and not negative in character. It helps him to become free and self-directing. It relates him to humanity, to the universe, and to God. It reveals law to him, as a directive not merely a restrictive force. It reveals his special power to him, and leads him to understand that the purpose of his life should be to use this power in transforming present conditions into better conditions. The purpose of this book is to contrast the new with the old training, that the value of the new may be more clearly seen.

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.
