“While the author’s method in this book is excellent, and she is able to preserve the intense spirit and mystic atmosphere of the great romances, her English occasionally suffers from too literal a rendering of the German. With that unimportant reservation, one can thoroughly enjoy her conscientious and sympathetic work.”

An abridgment of “Adolescence” which offers in briefer form and at less cost the far-reaching pedagogical principles and conclusions of the original volume. There have been added a chapter on moral and religious training and a glossary of seven pages, the latter being useful as well to the larger work.
“The book has been more carefully proofed and the bibliographic references made more complete than in ‘Adolescence.’ Good judgment has characterized the selection and condensation, and normal schools and teacher’s classes, outside of the preferred geographic zone, are certain to find it a useful book, if they can get hold of it.” Will S. Monroe.

“There will be great advantage in the existence of this handbook to ‘Adolescence,’ tho it might be regretted that the terminology and philosophical allusions have not been adapted to the understanding of the layman.”
