Excerpt from The Scientific Training of Children There is just as much talent and genius in the dull child as in the bright child, the only difference being that in the latter genius has become active, while in the former it is as yet inactive. But it can be made active in every mind to its fullest capacity and power. In the scientific training of children the first principle to be recognized and applied is, that remarkable ability, extraordinary talent and rare genius does exist in the deeper mentality of every child. And that whatever exists in the deeper mentality can be developed and brought out into tangible expression for practical use. It is only a matter of knowing how. The belief that child training should be deferred until the ages of six, eight or ten is not consistent with the natural law of development. Such is simply a belief that has originated from the fact that the modern system of training is in so many instances detrimental to the best mental welfare of the child, the reason being that it tends entirely too much to cram the surface of the mind, thus overworking and stupefying in many instances what intellect there may be in action on the surface.

Excerpt from Child Training as an Exact Science: A Treatise Based Upon the Principles of Modern Psychology, Normal and Abnormal A treatise on child training as an exact science, based upon the principles of modern psychology, medicine and hygiene, has seemed to me to be an urgent necessity, Pedagogy and medicine in them selves are distinctly separate fields of science. The former is concerned only with the mental and moral development, the latter only with the physical development of the child. The points of contact between the two become apparent only when it is realized that children with bodily abnormalities of development as a rule also show disorder in their mental development, and vice versa. If the intellectual weakness caused by goiter and adenoid vegetations is an evidence of the close connection existing between bodily conformation and mental activity, then it should not be difficult to under stand how similar indications could lead to still other deductions. Without exaggeration it might be claimed, likewise, that every organ of the body may have a relation to mental functions. In order.
