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 parent.
It may recall the principles or theories of Comenius, 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.
It aims to avoid the faults so common in child training - sentimentality, effeminacy, emotionalism, mysticism, license under the guise of freedom, exaggeration of the unimportant or trivial, the attaching of imaginary value to the symbolic.
It emphasizes Drill and the Formation of Habits, the Cultivation of Qualities and Development of Powers by Drill.
