Written by “one of the most distinguished exponents of the new philosophical conception known as monism.” It supplements Froebelism with the results of recent scientific investigation and advanced psychological methods. “In the chapter which treats upon the subject of punishment, we get the key-note to the author’s ethical principles. Like Tolstoy, and like a greater Teacher, he advocates non-resistance of evil with evil. Retaliation is condemned, a lie must be overcome by truth, wrong by right and violence by patience.... Punishment, Dr. Carus declares, ought to be the ‘consequence of a wrong act which is brought home to the knowledge and sentiments of the child.’”—Lit. D.
“Like Huxley he knows the secret of clothing abstruse subjects in an attractive garb and his works have a popular appeal. It will prove of especial interest and value to those engaged in kindergarten work.”
