Excerpt from A Plan for the Study of Man: With Reference to Bills to Establish a Laboratory for the Study of the Criminal, Pauper, and Defective Classes, With a Bibilography of Child Study
There has been much investigation of school children, but as the subject is in its experimental stage and methods are new, criticism has naturally been aroused. This is the history of all new lines of inquiry that take up the humanities. Some imagine that the children might be harmed by instruments used upon them or their rights interfered with, but nothing could be farther from the truth. The study of children is Simply to gain knowledge about them, and if knowledge is power, it will be power for their good.
