Book Description

Excerpt from The Essentials of Child Study: Including Class Outlines, Brief Discussions, Topical References, and a Complete Bibliography The Essentials of Child Study has grown out of twenty-one years' experience in teaching the subject in the University of Nebraska. It represents the nucleus of a three hour college course for one semester of eighteen weeks, consisting of fifty-two class periods of fifty minutes each. It had its beginning in a series of class outlines prepared primarily for college students having had the equivalent of six hours' credit in biology and as many more hours' credit in psychology as a foundation to the study. To these outlines have been added from time to time new material showing the results of experimentation, calling attention to important child study literature, and giving in connection with each topic such information as will make clear the essentials in a course of child study. The Essentials of Child Study is used as a text in the beginning course of Child Study in the University of Nebraska and covers the nature, growth and development of the child from birth to adolescence - in a few instances through adolescence. The thread of thot running thru the whole is the changing nature and intelligent nurture of the child. It aims to give in a condensed form the essential facts that ought to be known by every student of childhood, teacher, and parent. It is published for the benefit of students who make such constant use of it, and to supply the demand for the former Child Study Outlines from which it grew.
