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 The Scientific Training of Children Every child has the latent capacity to become much and achieve much. The child that remains ordinary remains ordinary because it is neglected. It is not being taught to bring out the power, the talent and the greatness that exists within. But if we wish to promote the welfare Of the indi vidual as well as the race, and we all do, we cannot afford to neglect a single child.

Excerpt from The Training of Children It is a very precious thing that we give our children, if we can contrive to give them Wide and generous sym pathies, if we can make their hearts great enough to feel for the whole world, precious to others and also to them selves; for the cares and worries of life are more easily and lightly borne by those of us, who have early taken, what George mcdonald happily calls, that greatest of all steps, the step out of doors. To feel beyond and above one's own petty personal interests, calms, rests and strengthens the human soul, and we should teach children to do this; and with this universal, all embracing sympathy and love, comes the deepest responsibility, for Love is the fulfilling of the law.

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.
