Excerpt from The Career of the Child Method should be determined by the laws of development of the child instead of by pure logic and the subject matter itself. Method means not only a logical arrangement of the materials in a given subject of instruction, but also the ques tion of its adaptation to nascent growth periods of the child and his interests as determined by native instincts and en vironment. Even in teaching mathematics the laws of growth and development of the child must be considered. In recent years the order of topics in mathematics has been very materially changed to harmonize with the well established laws of growth. Dr. Groszmann has pointed out the fact that not only chronological growth and physiological growth, but also psychological growth periods must be observed.
