Excerpt from The Psychology of Childhood and Youth: Outlines of Thirty Lectures The basal subject of study for teachers must always be children. They are to pedagogy what anatomy and physiology are to medicine, or what soils, plants, and ani mals are to agriculture. But the genesis of children's minds must also interest parents and all those who care for the development of human nature. The object of this course of lectures is to outline the results of the more re cent individual and group studies on the physical, mental, moral, social, aesthetic, and religious life of childhood and youth. The lectures will also seek to make educational applications of the generalizations reached, to the home, the school, and to society at large.
