Synopsis
Excerpt from Growth and Education
Some years ago I became greatly interested in the ques tion how a child grows. Principal Burk's monographs gave full information concerning growth in height and weight, and concerning some of the most important changes in the nervous system. Professor Donaldson had told us of the growth of the brain. Concerning the growth of heart, lungs, and other organs, I could find at first but little information. I found an abundance of books concerning diseases of children, but not one attempting to give a complete account of the growth of all the systems in the normal or average child.
It looked as if we had been rearing and training our children without ever asking whether the child entering school was merely a small edition of the adult, or some thing quite different. We seemed to have been attempt ing by education at home and at school to supply the child's needs without having first asked what those needs were, and whether they differed slightly or greatly at different ages.
