Abstract

does not know that perhaps John is worrying about getting to his street corner on time to sell his papers, or that he does not take part in class discussions because of a feeling of inferiority, or that he is worried about his home, she is not likely to succeed in stimulat ing John to do his best. On the other hand knowing the child's attitude, conflicts, and purposes should make the teacher a better guide in planning an effective program of work for him.
