Excerpt from The AdolescentThe intention of this book is to provide for those who have dealings with adolescent boys and girls, in whatever capacity, a clear outline picture of the period. The effort has been made to avoid overloading any part with detail. But even though simplified to the last degree, the problems of adolescent development are multiple and difficult to solve. This, however, is not sufficient justification on the part of those who have the welfare of youth in hand for the continued failure to acquaint themselves with knowledge of the period. It has been felt necessary in places to combat established practices which are conceived to be, psychologically and pedagogically, erroneous. Predominant attention is given to the development of the emotions, corresponding to the significance of these factors in the period studied. The chief function of youth is the creation of ideals and the development in connection with these of characteristics especially typical of civilised man.No discussion of this kind can do other than base itself on the monumental work of Dr. G. Stanley Hall.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
