Excerpt from Child Mind: An Introduction to Psychology for Teachers This book treats in a simpler and more abbreviated form the same matter as that dealt with in the larger work entitled The Fundamentals of Psychology. It is intended for use by students in training colleges, by candidates preparing for such professional examinations as the Board of Education Teacher's Certificate, and by young teachers generally. It is intended to be merely an introduction to the subject of Educational Psychology, and, it is hoped, will serve as an inducement to a further study of the subject. Chapters VIII., IX., and XI. of this book have been specially added with a view to covering more completely the Syllabus of the Board of Education for candidates for the Teacher's Certificate. The book should prove specially helpful in training colleges, where the amount of time devoted to Psychology, as well as other considerations, makes the use of a larger and more detailed work impossible. Many mir matters have had to be omitted, and much of what is expounded has had to be treated in popular and summary form. But, in spite of its brevity, the book will be found to give a clear account of the nature and development of child mind, so far as it is understood. To each chapter a number of questions have been appended. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
