Part 2 — PREFACE
Reading edition
The present volume, the third on “Practical School Discipline” (the second on “Applied Methods”), completes the series of books designed for the I. A. D. Correspondence Course for Teachers.
Some of the members of our Teachers’ Club may be interested to know that a similar course of correspondence and study has been prepared for parents. Possibly some of your own “hard cases” can best be reached indirectly, i. e., by introducing these volumes for the parents into the home of the hard case. If you know a parent who has failed to discipline his child properly, why not mention the Correspondence Course for Parents in your next Parents’ meeting! Take along your teachers’ book to illustrate the sort of practical treatment the various “cases” receive in the parents’ books. In helping the father or the mother, you are also helping the child, the school, and yourself.
Regarding the present volume our readers will note that in accordance with the statement contained in Part I, Part II is a continuation of that book. Partly to emphasize this fact of continuity, but also to avoid repetition in the complete index in Part II, the pagination and the numbering of the cases follow in consecutive order the two similar series of numbers in Part II. The division between the two volumes is made between topics, however, so that except for the very 356close relation between the two books, each of them may be regarded as complete in itself.
Finally, permit us to express our hearty appreciation of the cordial responses which are coming from the members of the Teachers’ Club, and again to assure them that their interests are ours.
