Download or read book Crowley s Hygiene of School Life Classic Reprint written by C. W. Hutt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crowley's Hygiene of School Life The centre of social responsibility has Shifted from the adult to the child. Progress viewed from the point of View of the former has been halting and in many directions disappointing: the change of the focus to the child has made a vast - an almost incalculable - change in the outlook. Seeming impossibilities find a solution there, Optimism replaces pessimism; that the child is father to the man remains no longer a mere empty sentiment, but has become a fact in the recognition of which must be found the groundwork of future social action. This change of viewpoint, it becomes evident, is a very radical one. Methods of dealing with children will vary greatly according to the standpoint from which the child is viewed, whether, as has been largely the case in the past, chiefly from the standpoint of the adult, or Whether attention is primarily given to its own laws of physical and mental development. The View that each child must be considered as an indivisible whole, Whose physical, mental, and moral development can never be considered apart, the unfolding of whose life therefore must be in harmony with the teaching of physiology and the laws of brain development, forms the theoretical, the scientific call, for medical inspection. This, however, has not been, directly at any rate, the motive force in bringing about medical inspection. The motive force has been rather the failure, seen on all hands, of the methods of treatment of the child on the former lines, and into the history of the call from this point of View we must enter rather more fully. Before, however, recalling the steps taken in our own country, it will be useful to follow, though in only very brief outline, the history of the movement in continental and other countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Backward Children in the Public Schools: With a Preliminary Study on the Relation of Physical to Mental Defects in School Children The age of our race between 6 and 15 years is a distinctive one, from the fact that the problem of diet, so important in infancy, decreases with the corresponding increase in bodily activity. So, also, the prevalence and effect of contagious disease suffer a reduction. For these reasons the mortality rate decreases progressively, and the probability of survival becomes steadily brighter. The age of development, however, is one in which the subsequent physical and mental welfare is largely predetermined. Though the child's life be fairly safe, his fortune still lies largely in the hands of his parents, his environment, his teacher, and his physician. First must be met the burdens of heredity, producing thousands of sickly, deformed, and neurotic children. A perpetually (or rather, life-long) acting force is here to be combatted and reckoned with. Second to heredity is a poor city environment, with its lack of fresh air and its improper diet of canned foods. Exposed to these influences healthy infants succumb, and join the ranks of those already suffering from rickets, anaemia, and adenoid nasal obstruction. Finally, the ignorance of parents causes indifference to the damage already done, and adds premature decay of the teeth to the existing list of evident physical imperfections. Are these injuries to the health of the child also harmful to his mind? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Normal School Bulletin, Vol. 10: October 1, 1904 The other educational influences that are at work during at least four-fifths of the waking hours of the child are the father and mother in the home, the natural surroundings and the community life, with its many industrial, commer cial, political, social, and religious phases. Tparents and guardians, not teachers, are responsible for the children's companionship out of school; responsible for the manner in which they spend their time, for what they read, the games they play, and the whole warp and woof of the children's physical, mental, and moral life when not in the school room. The fortuitous education of natural environment and social experience is indirect but powerful. The home and school, the largest factors in the child's education, should certainly co-operate in molding all other influences.

Download or read book A Study of the Mental Life of the Child Classic Reprint written by H. Von Hug-Hellmuth and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of the Mental Life of the Child The appearance of this book in English translation should be welcomed by all serious students of the periods of infancy and early childhood; - not because the claim can be made for it that it represents the outcome of a judicial weighing of all the factors that go to make the infant and the child that which they are, but because it describes, in almost monographic form, a certain, very important, group of these factors, - of which nothing would be known but for the work of Sigmund Freud, whose views the author of this treatise faithfully reproduces. Whatever differences of opinion may be held about some of the bearings of these views, the time is now long past when any one who cares for the truth about the matters to which they pertain can excuse himself for treating them with neglect. To do so would be to neglect the most thorough study which ever has been published, of a set of influences, or motives, which have a vast amount to do with the development of the poetical, literary, religious, philosophical and esthetic tendencies in human nature, and which serve indirectly (through giving rise to "conflicts") as fruitful causes of defects of character, unhappiness, and positive illnesses of pronounced sorts. To some extent the desires to which these motives correspond belong to what might be called the "underworld of human thought." The most significant of the earlier contributions to the history of infancy and early childhood came from men and women who strove to record with fidelity the sayings and doings of their own children. The plan was unexceptionable; but it should be recognized that where the thoughts, feelings and emotions of a human being are the object of study, the ability to "see and hear" is limited, almost rigorously, by the ability to "understand." An observer is not a phonograph, but a person, whose seeing and hearing is largely a selecting, carried on with deference to a set of opinions, mainly preconceived though subject to constant modification. One's senses, urged forward or held back by one's personality, rush to confirm, or hasten instinctively to turn away from, what one's education has led one to regard as noteworthy or objectionable, as the case may be, in the light of what one knew or felt or hoped for or had learned to look on with disfavor or disgust.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Children and Their School Training This work is addressed chiefly to teachers, parents, and others in daily contact with children; but contains information that is likely to interest those engaged in directing education, philanthropy, and other forms of social work as well as those concerned with mental science. The book has been written in the hope of aiding an advance in the care of children, and in the practice of educational methods, by promoting a more exact study and classification of the children to be cared for and trained; while giving an account of some conditions of childhood in its many varieties as seen from the standpoint of the observer who records what he sees as in other branches of physical science. For the purposes of observation, a clear account of the points to look at, what to look for, and what may be seen, normal or subnormal, forms the alphabet of our subject. Child study has of late years been actively carried on in America and in other countries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teacher: The School, and the Community IN preparing the following pages the author has had in mind the three-fold object of modern education: the training of the physical, the mental, and the moral nature of the child. The environment of school life should be in harmony with his unfolding nature and growing abilities, and it should also be a source of constant pleasure to him. The pupil who is absent from school should be con scious that he is missing something not enjoying a reprieve. To this end, a variety of suggestions, helps, and recreations are offered to make the study of the common branches more interesting. The chapters on nature study, the country school as a public health educator, and what to do with agriculture and home science may be most wel come to the rural teachers who have been struggling with such problems. Effort has been made to unify the work of the school and the home, and special consideration has been given to the school as a community center and as the stimulating source for clear thinking, good farming, and right living.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Seguin Physiological School for the Training of Children of Arrested Mental Development This School is situated in an elevated section of the city, about a mile from the railroad station, and in one of the most attractive of the residence portions of Orange. The grounds comprise nearly four acres, the house standing at an elevation of two hundred fifty feet above sea level. To the east and south stretches a beautiful park of forty-seven acres, separated from the grounds of the school by a hedge, while to the west the outlook is upon some of the finest lawns in Essex County. The climate of this section of country is justly renowned for its mildness and salubrity, and many persons unable to stand the strong salt air of New York and Brooklyn have become satisfied residents of Orange, the advantages gained in this short distance being remarkable, especially in cases involving catarrhal and throat troubles. Here we have the pure air and quiet of the country, great shade trees under which the children may sit or play, and broad stretches of grassy lawns with facilities for all out-door games. The surrounding country, with its varied surface of mountain and valley, not only affords pleasing views but is of great value in promoting the physical well-being of children whose constitutional peculiarities make them especially dependent on stimulating climatic environment.

Download or read book Aspects of Child Life written by G. Stanley Hall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aspects of Child Life: And Education and Some of His Pupils The Boston study was made possible by the generosity of Mrs. Pauline Agassiz Shaw, the founder of the kindergarten system of that city, and by the devoted labors of four of the best of her experts, headed by Miss S. E. Wiltse and Miss L. H. Symonds, who under my direction devoted months of careful and conscientious work to collecting the material. This paper has been republished several times in English, and translated in whole or in part into several foreign languages. As here presented, I have enlarged it by incorporating the results of all other similar tests of value that I know of up to date. As children's mental content differs much in different localities, it has often been suggested that some such survey of children just entering school should be undertaken in every community, in order that the teacher may know just what knowledge and ignorance can be assumed as a basis of teaching. This has sometimes been done in such a way as to secure these practical advantages to the teacher, but by methods not accurate enough to give scientific results. A recent official report shows that children who enter the schools of London late tend to surpass those who enter early, because the former, under the educational influences of the street, have acquired a number of facts and concepts which constitute apperception organs that enable them better to assimilate the material of instruction.
