Présentation de l'éditeur

When unhealthful bodies, mischievous tendencies, dulled mental powers, and divers and sundry kinds of wrong doing are present in school rooms, it is safe to say that monotony, or repression of expression, is a common state of affairs. G. Stanley Hall. The games, seat work, and sense training exercises contained in this little book are the result of years of experience with thousands of children and hundreds of excellent teachers. Great care has been taken to give a variety of educative exercises that cultivate attention, concentration, interest, judgment and reasoning, and that train along the lines of regular school work. Games show the real children and bring the teacher and children nearer together. They cast out monotony, arouse interest, help discipline, and make the schoolroom a place in which to act instead of listen. They also show the imitative, inventive, expressive, and social interests of children. Sense training has been considered an important part of school work for many years, and its beneficial results are recognized by all real teachers. The seat work problem has always been a difficult one, and it will never be completely solved. Much of the seat work herein suggested is along industrial lines, and will prove helpful in country as well as city schools. Grateful acknowledgment is made to all publishers who have kindly allowed the use of quotations, and to all teachers who have assisted in proving the value of educative games, seat work and sense training exercises.
