内容简介
A foreword can serve a i?lln|ber (if i)urposes, and it has not been an easy task te
decide toward which of these this particular foreword should be directed. Much could
he said which primarily would pa:y tribute to the anthor. The pages of this book,
for example, convey a warmth of feeling for chihtren and an understanding of them
seldom achieved in the printed word, and eveu less often in a texflmok. This char-
acteristic is so pervasive it cannot but infect the reader even to the extent of exciting
like feelings. The hook speaks so clearly for the author, however, in this and i~ other
respects that this purpose was discarded.
These introductory renmrks lnight serve the purpose of orienting the reader to
the rich and varied accumulation of knowledge and its systematic organization to be
found in these pa~es. Undouhtedly this volume is rare among texts in the scope and
completeness with which the many-faceted aspects of child life are discussed.
But this fact, too; will quickly he self-evident, and a second purpose was rejected.
A foreword in the form of a book review offered a highly tempting, if inappro-
priate, possibility. The unusual features of hoth the content and its organization
demand critical analysis and discussion. A book review would not only misuse the
opportunity this foreword offers, but also would probably be of greater interest to the
teacher of pediatric nm sing than to the student. In ally case, it nmst he left for the
columns of the professional journals.
