Excerpt from The Intellectual and Moral Development of the Child, Vol. 1: Containing the Chapters on Perception, Emotion, Memory, Imagination, and Consciousness
The present volume contains the first half of the translation of the work of Professor Gabriel Compayre, entitled L"Evolution Intellectuelle et Morale de l"Enfant." The object of the work is to bring together in a systematic pedagogical form what is known regarding the development of infant children so far as the facts have any bearing upon early education.
As a field of investigation and original research, physiological psychology, anthropology, or the study of man as an object of natural history, and, quite recently, the specialization of inquiry, limiting it to the still narrower field which includes the child in his stages of infancy and boyhood or girlhood, have attracted an increasing number of students.
A few years ago the department of folklore began to be studied as one of the minute subdivisions of anthropology. This led to an investigation of children"s games, and much light was thrown upon the mode in which the childish mind mimics for itself the manners and ceremonies as well as the serious occupations of the grown-up people about it.
