Excerpt from Child Study, Vol. 1: With Special Application to the Teaching of Religion

The science of child study began in the nineteenth cen tury after that greatest of all educational dis Immp coveries - the discovery of the child. Greek tanccof educational theory and practice had insisted Child upon the character Of the teacher as most impor mdy' tant for the proper training of the child, and subsequent ages have accepted this dictum. The Middle Ages had been careful to draw up a wise and well-ordered curriculum of studies by which to fashion the child's intellect, and today much of the meaning Of that phrase a liberal education is an inheritance from those days. But it was reserved for later days to see that, given the right sort of teacher and the curriculum of real educa tional value, there was yet another factor to be taken account of in teaching and training a child, viz. The nature of the child himself.
