A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The author, who is both a clergyman and a Doctor of Philosophy, has been among boys and done work with them that I consider hardly less than epoch-making in significance. Dr. Forbush understands the natural boy and how to approach and handle him, and has also put himself abreast of the new psycho-genetic and pedagogical literature. The great fact of adolescence with all its multifarious phenomena and its stages of transformation might almost be called natures regeneration. For a few years before this, boys live with their mates and adjust themselves as best they may to the will and way of the adult Olympians about them in the persons of teachers and parents, whose lives and ideals seem strange and alien to them. But when the ephebic reconstruction begins, one of its most radical changes consists in opening the soul to influences that come to it from riper years. Instead of a horizontal expansion of interests in boy life, the soul now reaches upward and is intensely sensitive to what the coming years are to bring; so that this age is the golden period of adult influence, provided it is wise enough not to offend.
