Excerpt from The Infant School: Its Principles and Methods That there is need for a book dealing with the special problems of the Infant School, the writer is strongly convinced. There are two reasons which seem to require that an attempt should be made to deal with these problems at present. In the first place, the Infant School is dealt with in too summary a fashion in most books on School Method, and the importance of its work is by no means adequately represented. In the second place, the general plan on which most School Management text-books are based, that of the Curriculum or subjects of study, is not a plan suited to a discussion of Infant School Management. In the Infant School the central fact for the teacher is not the Curriculum but the Pupil. This, of course, is true of all schools, but its truth is most evident at the initial stages of education. Hence in this book an attempt has been made to discuss education from the central standpoint - the child to be educated. The writer is convinced that this is the only scientific basis for education, and that from this basis must be deduced alike the curriculum and the method. Apart from this basis, education becomes merely an empirical system of rules and traditions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
