Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dawn of Mind: An Introduction to Child Psychology For the sake both of theory and of practice, child psychology should bulk more largely in our thought and in our literature than it does. There are numerous problems of general psychology which can, it seems to me, be most readily solved by a lose study of the developing mind as it appears in the child. A series of careful records of the mental growth of individual children would in this connection be of the greatest value. Such records can be made only by one who is constantly in the most intimate contact with the child; by one who can at the same time assume the scientific attitude, and who has some acquaintance with scientific method, A psychological training is also essential, otherwise many illuminating incidents will be passed over. Not many people fulfil all these conditions. The only person who really fulfils the first is the child's mother or nurse, and she seldom has the knowledge and mental training which are equally necessary. Fully equipped women are, however, becoming more numerous every day, and we may look with confidence to the mothers of the future for the material we require.
