Excerpt from The Character Building Readers, Vol. 2: Second Reader; Courage
Interest swings like a pendulum between the self and the not self between the personal and the abstract between the affections of the heart and the conceptions of the mind; be tween the gentler and the sterner ideals of life and conduct; from beauty to duty and back again.
The mere babe first gazes with astonishment on the newest or most noticeable thing in view and then wishes to act upon it. Sentiment dawns under stimulation by mother or kindergarten. The kindergarten systematically recognizes the rhythmic action of the mind within its range of interests. The Character Build ing Readers continue the moral culture of the child under this law. The successive awakenings they endeavor to promote to clear perceptions of and enthusiasm for (i) mother-love, tenderness, chivalry, etc.; (2) industry; (3) cooperation and helpfulness; (4) courage and perseverance follow the natural swinging of the pendulum of growth.
