Foreword

The supreme need of one who would teach or train a little child is the power to put oneself in his place — to go as far as the actual point of meeting with his actual need. What avails it that the teacher is strong, learned, skilled, if she cannot link her strength to her pupil's weakness, her knowledge to his ignorance, her skill to his lack of skill?

This book is the united work of the Special Class teachers of Boston, an outline of their united experience, and is sent out in the hope that it may aid teachers and mothers everywhere, when facing a child's need, to "come where he is."
