About This Book

The work offers a practical synthesis of developmental and educational guidance for children and adolescents, surveying physical growth and motor development, manual and industrial training, gymnastics, play and sports, and school curricula; it discusses moral and religious instruction, sex differences and education of girls, causes of juvenile misbehavior, and social and intellectual maturation. Emphasizing regimen, habit formation, and the relation between bodily development and mental life, it blends scientific observation with pedagogical recommendations for teachers and parents, illustrated by biographical sketches and comparative methods of physical training.
