Synopsis

This book, a study of children, particularly focuses on Washington school children, with original research exploring several lines of investigation relating to their development. The author, a specialist in the Bureau of Education, presents both original observations as well as a review of prominent related research from experts of the time. Contained in this study are anthropometrical and psycho-physical measurements of school children, along with comparative data for children in schools throughout Europe. The author presents measurements for children s craniums, along with tests for pain, strength, and perception of heat and touch. The book also includes studies of children with abnormalities, and the influence of foreign and mixed nationality on children's abilities. The author complements the original research presented with a thorough review of existing research on the topics, including work by Combe, Quetelet, Porter, Virchow, Roberts, Baxter, and Bowditch. This book is a valuable historical account of the state of child development research at the end of the 19th century, and provides a wealth of data and analysis that remains relevant today.
