Synopsis
Excerpt from Mind in the Making: A Study in Mental Development
The most significant tendency in educational litera ture to-day is the substitution of the individual for the course of study as the basis of constructive pedagogy. The rapid growth of American cities has centred attention upon the machinery of school systems, while the great increase in college attendance and the influ ence of the methods of German universities have too completely submerged the individual. Educators have lately been taking an inventory and have discovered racial and individual assets which had to a great extent been overlooked. Some of these formative influences are positive forces which should be directed into lines advantageous to the individual and to society; others, which are negative and tend to mental arrest, should, so far as possible, be curbed and repressed. An environ ment which is good in one instance may be inert in another. To foster growth it must meet individual needs, and these can be learned only by studying the native tendencies and peculiar dispositions of pupil and student. This book is a plea for the personal element in education, and for the extension of the experimental method.

Mind in the Making: A Study in Mental Development (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the evolution of ideas surrounding the nature of sin, exploring how our understanding of morality has shifted over time. The author traces the concept of sin from its origins in the teachings of Puritan divines like Cotton Mather to its modern interpretation. Through case studies and historical analysis, the book challenges conventional notions of criminality, arguing that many behaviors once deemed sinful are now seen as normal. The author contends that our understanding of morality is shaped by our social and cultural context, and that what is considered sinful in one era may be acceptable in another. This book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of the nature of sin and its implications for our understanding of human behavior.
