Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Up Through Childhood: A Study of Some Principles of Education in Relation to Faith and Conduct, a Book for Parents and Teachers
Fifty years ago Herbert Spencer made complaint that after-dinner conversations in England dealt with the regulations of the kennel, stable, and sheep-pen to the exclusion of rules touching the rearing of children. The same complaint might well have been made in this country also. But a half century has wrought mighty changes, so that now many mothers, and even some fathers, are as much concerned in the hours, ventila tion, and dietary of the nursery as in the condition and treatment of their pet animals. This interest extends into the school also, and both the subject-matter and the method of school instruction are topics of daily con versation in multitudes of homes. Teachers, too, are given a recognition and a salary that place them upon a dignified plane.
