| Summary: | "The author has, at various institutes and other gatherings of teachers, delivered lectures on Psychology, chiefly on those phases that must and do come in for a large share of consideration on the part of every successful teacher. The speculative form which Psychology sometimes assumes found no place in those discussions, but only such features as are quite in touch with the ordinary experience of the average teacher in our common schools. The writer was surprised, and at the same time very much gratified, at the intense interest they evoked. At the solicitation of a large number of these same teachers, the lectures have accordingly been gathered together, and, with slight modifications and the advantage of much additional material, are now presented in book form. The aim of this book is to provide a practical resource for teachers. Its object is to create and develop tact on the part of the teacher, that he may be able to read the child's mind aright and thus be better qualified to minister to the wants of the growing child-nature as this unfolds itself day by day. The greatest pedagogical need of our times is child study, and if the author only quickens the interest of teachers in this line he shall be more than satisfied and fully repaid for every effort he has made"--Preface.
