Practical methods for teaching subnormal children to reach their full potential.

This edition presents a structured approach to education that treats each child as an individual, combining physical training, sensory development, and memory work to draw out the mind within the body. It emphasizes patience, small class sizes, and tailored activities that align with each child’s needs.

The content is organized around key areas such as early and elementary training, objective learning through the senses, and the role of play in education. It covers how to develop coordination, perception, attention, and emotional readiness, with clear guidance on setting up environments that support growth. Readers will find step‑by‑step ideas for activities, room layouts, and routines designed to keep learners engaged and progressing over time.

Individualized training plans that start with basic actions and gradually introduce more complex tasks
Sensory and motor development exercises, plus techniques to sustain attention and reduce fatigue
Structured, teacher‑led activities in areas like kindergarten, manual arts, and music that reinforce learning
Practical examples of rewards, demonstrations, and error‑tolerant approaches that encourage persistence

Ideal for educators and caregivers seeking concrete, classroom‑tested methods to support subnormal learners and help them develop skills across physical, cognitive, and social domains.
