Synopsis

Excerpt from Child Training as an Exact Science: A Treatise Based Upon the Principles of Modern Psychology, Normal and Abnormal

A treatise on child training as an exact science, based upon the principles of modern psychology, medicine and hygiene, has seemed to me to be an urgent necessity, Pedagogy and medicine in them selves are distinctly separate fields of science. The former is concerned only with the mental and moral development, the latter only with the physical development of the child. The points of contact between the two become apparent only when it is realized that children with bodily abnormalities of development as a rule also show disorder in their mental development, and vice versa. If the intellectual weakness caused by goiter and adenoid vegetations is an evidence of the close connection existing between bodily conformation and mental activity, then it should not be difficult to under stand how similar indications could lead to still other deductions. Without exaggeration it might be claimed, likewise, that every organ of the body may have a relation to mental functions. In order.
