Preface

" The teacher who fails to get the attention of his scholars, fails totally." This truth justifies the preparation of a teachers' hand-book dealing exclusively with the subject of Attention. Some teachers are gifted naturally with a high degree of power to gain and hold the attention of their pupils. All teachers may add to their power in this as in all other departments of their work. To help them to do so has been my object in issuing this book.

The present edition has been very much enlarged, and some important additions have been made to it.

The edition of Messrs. E. L. Kellogg & Co. is the only authorized edition published in the United States.
