Excerpt from The Parent and Teacher for the Pupil It is no exaggeration of the truth to state that all the different. Parts of the work are based upon experi ence and facts learned through observation, or are founded on that natural intuition, resident in all of us, which we need never fear to trust, even if we cannot fully comprehend it. Some of the ideas advanced are not original with the author: for instance, the method of reading as described on page 25, was impressed on the mind of the writer when he was a school-boy by one of his teachers: and since he has known the plan to be recommended by others. Regarding this little. Undertaking, I can only ask the kind reader to apply Carlyle's celebrated maxim, and try to see its good qualities before pronouncing upon its bad ones; and if these few written pages shall be the means of helping parents and teachers to appreci nte each other more. And of directing youthful minds to higher ideals, I shall receive a sufficient reward. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
