Excerpt from Hints for the Scientific Observation and Study of Children In the introduction to the American edition of Prof. Preyer's book, Dr. Harris says: Method converts unprofitable experience, wherein nothing abides but vague and uncertain surmise, into science. Method, strict, logical method, is the first desidera tum, then vigilant observation, veracity, discrimination and ingenuity in the study of the child. Baby ways are charming and irresistible they will be no less so when an attempt is made to discover the order of prog ress that dwells in them. Dearer yet will be the first faltering steps, the first lisped words, if the mother has been trained to keep careful note of how and when they were first attempted, how improved by exercise, how slowly and painstakingly perfected. The development of language alone offers a fascinating field of observation - to keep note of all the strange, obsolete sounds that bubble over on baby lips, the first imitation of words, the first understanding of words, the inventions of the child, all these the key to help in reading the soul within.
