Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Principles of Character Making This book aims to be what its title implies. It is, in a sense, a text-book on applied psychology, with psychology in its modernized form applied to the most vital function of the home, the school, the individual and the nation. It endeavors to see the subject of child-training from the genetic point of view. The child on his way to manhood is assumed to climb the stairs in well-marked stages. His modes of growth are definite and fairly well-fixed. He is neither plastic nor hard. He is organic, living, developing. He cannot be kneaded like dough, nor hammered like iron, nor carved like marble, but he can be guided like vine upon a trellis. To trace his stages of growth a beginning is made with the remotest origins of the individual. Back of the germ-cell and beyond to the time of pre-cell formations character is traced to find its sources. Heredity is presented, not as a terrible and determined ogre, but full of potentialities unpredictable. From this point of view efforts at child-improvement after birth are practicable and full of promise. Environment and education are the final arbiters of man´s destiny. Ideas can exercise the controlling force in a man´s life and conduct. While the book is worded as nearly as possible in language any reader can understand, it is not therefore unscientific. The dominating thought in its preparation has been to make it usable both to parents and teachers and at the same time scientifically sound.
