Excerpt from The Pedagogical Seminary, Vol. 8: A Quarterly International Record of Educational Literature, Institution and Progress
This number begins a new volume, the eighth, of the Pedagogical Seminary.
In the first article, Mr. Sears reports the results of a laborious and painstaking test of the rhythmic sense of school children from six to eighteen, showing its relations to standing in school, musical culture, and to age. The curves of the last show a marked and interesting change at puberty. This is always the case with nearly every test of whatever character, whether mental or physical, where age is taken into account. In view of this fact, are we not now justified on insisting that every investigation whatever, concerning childhood must take account of age differences, wherever they exist, or be open to criticism for failing to do so? If the age line should show no modification here, this fact may demand special explanation.
Superintendent Johnson"s study of children"s teeth gives an account of the present state of the question, and adds important personal contributions.
It is doubtful if any one would differ from the opinion of the Editor of the Seminary, who regards Dr. Balliet, of Springfield, Massachusetts, as the American city superintendent who best combines a good command of psychological and pedagogical principles with the executive ability to put them in successful practice.
