Hints on Child-Training may be helpful, where a formal treatise on the subject would prove bewildering. It is easier to see how one phase or another of children’s needs is to be met, than it is to define the relation of that phase of the case to all other phases, or to a system that includes them all. Every suggestion in these Hints is an outcome of experiment and observation in my life as a father and a grandfather, while it has been carefully...
