Excerpt from Object Lessons for Infants, Vol. 1 This course of Object Lessons for use in Infant Schools is designed as an easy stepping-stone to the author's more advanced course for use in the Senior departments; and is the natural outcome of the widely extended favour with which the two preceding series of books have been received in the educational world. In view of the recent changes in the Code, which have set up new relations between the school, h.m. Inspector, and the Education Department, and affect the everyday life of both teachers and scholars, it has been deemed advisable, after consultation with several Infant Teachers, to arrange the course in four stages. Under the old regime the Infant School seemed to naturally resolve itself into three divisions. It is now thought that, under the new conditions, a course of lessons laid down in four stages will be welcomed by most teachers, as giving them a stage at their discretion, to provide for the more rapid class promotions which will henceforth take place.
