Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Study of the Behavior of an Individual Child: Syllabus and Bibliography
This Syllabus is the outgrowth of attempts to direct prospective teachers in classes in Education to under stand child life in the city. In doing this work it has been found more effective to study individual cases rather than the child as a type or children in general. As soon as a young woman has assumed responsibil ity for the study and care of an individual child she has sought for general material and for advice to help her understand her problem. The fundamental as sumption underlying the course is that the child is like other living creatures. Placed under the artificial environment of the city he is handicapped in many respects and it is the business of education to re move such handicaps so far as possible. In order to do this, it is necessary to understand the child's life in detail and to see the kind of conditions essential for his proper growth.
