About This Book

The author presents a coherent philosophy of upbringing that treats the child as a person and conceives education as a science of relations, aiming to place young learners in living contact with nature, literature, ideas, and practical skills. Emphasis falls on habit formation, short concentrated lessons, the use of living books rather than dry extracts, nature study, narration, arts and handicrafts, and a continuous progression from early home life toward self-directed maturity. Practical recommendations combine moral and intellectual formation with a broad, liberal curriculum designed to cultivate attention, curiosity, character, and a sustained love of learning.

Appendices

APPENDIX A

Appended is a list of books, etc., spoken of in various connections in this volume, with particulars as to publisher or agent, and price; but it must be borne in mind that books of the kind are constantly going out of print, and that the mention of these in the text is designed rather to indicate the sort of books it is desirable to use than to point out particular works. Indeed, to regard this as a stereotyped list of school-books for young children would be unfair both to authors and publishers, and also to the purchaser; for there are, no doubt, many equally good books in the market at the present time, and new works on similar lines are constantly issuing from the press.
