Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Moral Condition and Development of the Child IT was a saying of Borden Parker Bowne that, although a sound philosophy might conceivably be of no benefit to the world, there could be no doubt of the real damage done by an unsound philosophy. With even greater emphasis might one say this of theological dogma; for in no other field has the lust for system at the expense of life borne more bitter fruit. And good men have sel dom strayed further than when, under the ty ranny of the a priori, they have essayed to extend their deductions to the moral and religious status of the child. Not the least of the merits of the following discussion, while the author makes no claim of be ing a specialist in psychology, is his appreciation of the bearing of psychology upon his subject. The point of View and the method of approach adopted by the psychologist bring to light ma terial that may be obtained in no other way. And no safe theological structure can be built without this material. The child-mind and the child-life have their own secrets to tell, and they only learn these who patiently ask what the facts are, and not what the facts ought to be.
