Book Description
This is a book for parents which deals with principles rather than with problems or cases. It aims to help parents to think for themselves and does not undertake to present ready-made formulas for the training of children or prescriptions for use in various emergencies. It is not mere theory, however; most of its materials lie within the author's experience as parent and as teacher. - Preface.

Book Description
Our promises: 1. Our goal is to bring you high quality Christian publications at reasonable and affordable prices. Therefore all of our works are complete and unabridged unless specifically stated otherwise, which means that unlike some other independent publications you get what you see and pay for. No unplesant surprises. 2. We endeavour to bring you updated editions of classic works. Therefore this work is not a scan, but is a completely digitized version of the original. 3. Unlike, many other independently published works, our publications are easy to read. Therefore you won't find illegible, faded, poor quality photocopies here. Neither will you find poorly done OCR versions of those faded scans either, with illegible "words" that contain all kinds of strange characters like �, %, &, etc. Our publications have all been looked over and corrected by the human eye. 4. We can't promise perfection, but we're sure gonna try! A recent conference of educators was discussing the problem of vocational guidance, and canvassing the various ways in which schools and colleges may help young people to decide wisely the all-important question of their occupation in life. One speaker gave pungent expression to a conviction which met with the evident approbation of most of the teachers present: "I do not hesitate to say that in my opinion the children of today do not need vocational guides so much as they need a new set of parents; parents who have spunk enough to climb back upon the thrones in their own households which they have abdicated in favor of their children; parents who have energy enough to get their children out of bed in the morning early enough for them to wash their faces, comb their hair, and lace their shoes without the schools being obliged to give promotion credit for their doing so; parents who, when the shades of night begin to fall, look after their boys with the same degree of care that they give to their bull pup, which they chain up, lest he associate with the strange cur upon the street. We have state autocracy enough in education; what we need most is authority in the home." An utterance of this sort, propounded glibly, wins ready assent; but later begets misgivings. Just what sort of authority, we begin to wonder, did the speaker have in mind? Parents need more than spunk or energy if they are to deal wisely with their children; chaining up is a poor way to care for boys; and no household ought to have a throne. The speaker's phrases have a backward-looking, monarchical air about them that makes us pause. Yet his main point is true. The children of today do need a new set of parents. Better schools, more playgrounds, efficient health organizations, adequate laws properly enforced, social settlements, boys' and girls' clubs, and churches that have caught the vision of their educational opportunity and responsibility, may do much to determine the character of the next generation. But beneath all these, and more vital in its influence than any, is the home life of the child. Failure there is fundamental. And too many homes of today are failing, at one point or another, to be all that they ought to be, and to do all that they ought to do, for their children. The fundamental principles of child-training remain the same for generation after generation, for they depend in part upon the natural laws of the child's growth and development and in part upon the essential principles of human morality. Yet the particular problems of parents change with changing material and social conditions; new methods of observation and experiment bring more assured knowledge of the facts and laws of child-life; and moral ideals themselves develop as the race grows in experience.

Book Description
Hints on Child-Training may be helpful, where a formal treatise on the subject would prove bewildering. It is easier to see how one phase or another of children’s needs is to be met, than it is to define the relation of that phase of the case to all other phases, or to a system that includes them all. Therefore it is that this series of Hints is ventured by me for the benefit of young parents, although I would not dare attempt a systematic treatise on the entire subject here touched upon. Thirty years ago, when I was yet a young father, a friend, who knew that I had for years been interested in the study of methods of education, said to me, “Trumbull, what is your theory of child-training?” “Theory?” I responded. “I have no theory in that matter. I had lots of theories before I had any children; but now I do, with fear and trembling, in every case just that which seems to be the better thing for the hour, whether it agrees with any of my old theories or not.” Whatever theory of child-training may show itself in these Hints, has been arrived at by induction in the process of my experiences with children since I had to deal with the matter practically, apart from any preconceived view of the principles involved. Every suggestion in these Hints is an outcome of experiment and observation in my life as a father and a grandfather, while it has been carefully considered in the light of the best lessons of practical educators on every side. These Hints were begun for the purpose of giving help to a friend. They were continued because of the evident popular interest in them. They are sent out in this completed form in the hope that they will prove of service to parents who are feeling the need of something more practical in the realm of child-training than untested theories.
