"This book is evidently the outcome of much thought, careful observation, and genuine interest in the subject of childhood, which has made both thought and observation fruitful of good. Such a book is a real boon, and cannot fail to do good."—Spectator.

"The author has, we believe, had much personal contact with childlife and child-nature in Bradford, and all her remarks give evidence of practical knowledge. Above all, she overflows with fellow-feeling for the child."—The Literary World.

"The chapters on moral training and fatigue are specially worthy of of notice."—Guardian.

"An intelligent and sympathetic study of primary education, and discusses such subjects as the aim of manual training of young children, the cost of mental efforts, proper literature for the young, the nature of fatigue—normal and abnormal, and the care of the feeble-minded child. It is well informed as to its facts and enlightened and suggestive in its deductions from them."—Scotsman.

"Her book will appeal more directly, we think, to parents, and teachers in infant schools and kindergarten. The subject of education is regarded from a physiological point of view. The writer's knowledge of public elementary education enables her to write with considerable authority."—School World.

’It is the outcome of close observation and a sympathetic mind, and we gladly commend it to mothers and impressionist teachers and tenders of children."—Educational Review. 206
