A FIRST WORD TO READERS
Many requests from parents for a simple method of training children to
think and remember have prompted this series of books on "Mind Training
for Children."
Play is the child's great objective and this is capitalized in
the methods used in presenting this subject. There are over fifty
interesting games and as many exercises, all of which are based upon
scientific principles. These will not only interest and amuse the
children, but will result in the development of their senses and
faculties. This will lead naturally to the improvement of the memory.
