Child in Home and School

It is a pleasure to commend this little book to parents and teachers of young children. It will be clear to its readers that the author is an acute and sympathetic observer of children, with much direct experience of their ways and needs and difficulties. It will quickly be felt also, that the ways and needs and difficulties of parents and teachers are as clearly understood, and meet with equal sympathy, as well as a saving sense of humour. The questions at the ends of the chapters are just those which need thoughtful discussion rather than dogmatic answers. While adhering faithfully to personal experience, and avoiding theoretical language, the writer actually makes full use of modern psychology and hygiene in interpreting the problems of early childhood. The book may thus be confidently expected to prove both interesting and helpful especially to younger parents and students of education.
