Excerpt from The Beginners' Worker and Work There is no sharp dividing line between' infancy and this early period of childhood. Physical activity prompted by native impulse is still the predominating characteristic. This activity in little Children is born 'of restlessness, because muscular action and bodily movement are as yet disconnected and not under full control. In children under six years of age instinctive feelings are strong though short-lived. The selfish instinct dominates, manifesting itself in various forms, among which a craving for recognition and approbation is noticeable. Imitation, curiosity, and a sense of rhythm are marked. The intellectual life moves upon the plane of con crete sense perceptions, supplemented by a fanciful imagina tion. The child is interested in things and persons, and in simple concrete situations or events. This indicates at once the method of approach for the parent and teacher in seeking to wisely shape the environment of the child in such a way as to facilitate the process of gradual unfolding.

Excerpt from The Worker and His Work This book has been compiled in an effort to meet the needs of boys and girls who feel the urgent necessity of selecting the right vocation. Few subjects provoke so keen an interest as that of one's life work. The thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts. But there is danger in early selection and specialization before there is perspective. To be a vocational misfit is almost as tragic as to have no work at all.

Excerpt from The Worker's Handbook It is hoped that while the book will find a public among those who are in touch with the industrial world, it may also be of service to the workers themselves. Laws, if they are to be more than a pious expression of the standard of justice which public Opinion has reached, must be completely enforced and this enforce ment depends largely on the knowledge and activity of those for whom their protection was designed.

Excerpt from The Adult Worker and His Work Is it not worth while to teach the Bible as well as we teach arithmetic and geography, to give as good instruction in the things of the soul and the life to come as in those of the counting house and commerce? - Burt0n and Mathews. The new system is the result Of developments that have been in process for many years in the educational world. The principles of the new education have been recognized and followed in the public schools for a good while; their recognition in the Sunday-school has come tardily, but can not be any longer postponed. It is not worth While to quarrel with a necessity. - f. T. M cfarland. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Management and the Worker There are scores of successful plans in this volume, all of which have a direct bearing upon conditions in every concern where the so-called labor problem exists. In some of these organizations the application of many of these plans and methods may be readily made without readjustments, while in others varia tions may be necessary or advisable in order to meet varying conditions. It will be found that as often as is consistent with adequate presentation of the subjects, plans are de scribed by the users themselves. The names of those who have given special assistance are mentioned on an earlier page. The editors of the volumes have gone to successful managers for their successful poli cies and plans, and it is believed that nowhere is there to be found in equal space an equal body of evidence that management can cope successfully, and with extraordinary results in profits, with what is commonly known as the labor problem.

Excerpt from The Workers: An Experiment in Reality; The West That, at all events, is pretty much as it ap pears to-night to Tom Clark and me. Clark is my partner, and we are not in good luck nor in high spirits. We each had a ten-cent breakfast this morning, but neither has tasted food since, and to-night, after an exhausting search for work, we must sleep in the station-house. We are doing our best to pass the time in warmth and comfort until midnight. We know better than to go to the station-house earlier than that hour. Clark is in the corner at my side pretending to read a newspaper, but really trying to disguise the fact that he is asleep.
