-by The University Society (1948 edition)


A vintage manual on the extensive aspects of child-rearing, this heavy volume is the conglomerate manual of decades of study by the University Society. A beautiful red hardcover, with a 1940s illustration on the front. Great for referencing as well as studying on the values of the day. 


The foundation for living richly and fully, with lasting satisfaction, is good character.  Like rocks, however, character grows slowly, and must be nurtured by parents who themselves have character and who know that it is not something one can "teach", like arithmetic or geography, but something which grows out of a child's many-sided development plus a sense of emotional security.


To help parents foster this development, this book has divided it into a four-fold plan: (1) Physical; (2) Mental; (3) Social and Emotional; and (4) Moral and Spiritual aspects of growth. Within the framework of these four aspects, this Manual of Child Development presents parents with (1) A Chart of Child Development, which is an outline of the average child's growth, arrived at by studies of thousands of children; (2) A section devoted to essential traits to be developed in order to form good character and personality; and (3) The four-fold plan and how to apply its physical, mental, social and emotional, and moral and spiritual aspects of your child.
