Summary:

As for years, an almost passionate lover of childhood and a teacher of youth, the adolescent stage of life has long seemed to me one of the most fascinating of all themes. These years are the best decade of life. That this book may directly and indirectly help the young to exploit aright all the possibilities of the years from fourteen to twenty-four and to safeguard them against the above insidious dangers is the writer's chief desire. Hence the book attempts a pretty full survey of pedagogic matter and method for the age treated, and also, to some extent, for earlier and later years. Chapters I and II are devoted to physiological growth. To motor education, grouped under four great divisions, and will-training, one of the longest chapters (III) is devoted. Menstruation and the education of girls occupies a chapter (VII), hygiene, crime, and secret vice one each (IV, V, and VI). Chapter VIII describes adolescence in literature, biography, and history.
