• "This is a book on character education written especially for parents and teachers and to meet the needs of students of character education. Many ministers and church workers should find it of practical value in their work. The problem is discussed developmentally; that is, from age level to age level. It is a more common procedure for books on child guidance to discuss specific problems rather than successive periods of development. The method chosen for this book was made necessary by the strong emphasis throughout the book on the total personality. This book attempts to give parents and teachers definite goals toward which to strive in the development of the personalities of their children; methods for applying their efforts to the specific nature of the individual child; ways of measuring progress, so that they can give more intelligent direction to their efforts and determine the success of their work; and a principle of education which allows full scope for the particular abilities and needs of each child, in projects which give not only individual development but training in social integration"--Preface.
