Excerpt from The Child in Human Progress The author of this book has in a masterly way mad use of the clarifying light of research to illumine in a most thorough and painstaking manner the increasing purpose of the ages in the emergence of the child as a domination factor in the development of true civilization. No civilization can merit approbation or deserve prominence which does not recognize the invaluable asset of childhood. The Great Teacher said "Suffer little children to come unto me for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." And when we survey in the book before us the grim, sordid and pitiful pictures of the status of the child in past civilizations, we realize that the Kingdom of Heaven upon earth is as yet but the hope for the future. The thoughtful reader will come to realize that only through recognition of the sanctity of the child, of the glorious dignity of motherhood and of the integrity of the family can any civilization expect to endure.

Excerpt from Mental Development in the Child This movement, known as child study, has re ceived great impulse in this country within a few years, especially through the labors of Dr. Stanley Hall, who may be called the pioneer and enthusiastic promoter of the good work. Prof. M. W. Hum phreys, of Tennessee, and Prof. Edward S. Holden, of California, published their investigations into the vocabularies of children soon after Darwin published his biographical sketch of his infant son and Taine his essay Sur l'aquisition du Langage. Mr. E. H. Russell, Principal of the State Normal School of Worcester, Mass, was one of the first to commence in his school a systematic collection of data regard ing the development of children. Recently, Prof. Earl Barnes, in the Leland Stanford, Junior, Uni versity, has made large additions to our knowledge of the development of the conceptions of children in regard to art, religion, and some other fields. Every day one comes to hear of some new laborer in this province of pedagogy. The results recorded in this volume are chiefly of three kinds.

Excerpt from The Development of the Child One of the noteworthy characteristics of the time is the so-called moral revival which has shown itself in almost every part of the civilized world. It has made its imprint upon England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Russia. In our own country it has wrought some striking changes. These changes have been very plainly seen all through the common life of the time, and one of the most interesting features of this revival is the diversity of form which it has assumed. From one end of the social fabric to the other the same note is heard; whether in regard to the subject of dress, or of charity, whether business methods or housekeeping, the spirit of the hour calls for a strenuous effort, a desire to improve upon the past, a noble dissatisfaction that can be quieted only by an active exhibition of individual endeavor.

Excerpt from Fundamentals of Child Study: A Discussion of Instincts and Other Factors in Human Development With Practical Applications This book is an attempt to present, in an organized form, an outline of the new science of child study for investigators, students, teachers, and parents. It is the fruit of fourteen years' experience in studying and teaching child study, and of seven years' experience as a father. Most of the work has been presented successfully, in nearly its present form, to normal students. The great task of the author has been to decide what to leave out of the book. Many paragraphs might easily have been expanded into chapters. It was the original intention to summarize all the principal child-study investigations that have been made. Lack of space and the fact that much of the literature of child study is in the nature of preliminary studies likely to be superseded by later investigations, caused this plan to be abandoned; hence only a few specific facts and figures are quoted, while prominence is given to the foundations of child study in other sciences, and to the more general, permanent, and practical truths thus far revealed by students of children.
