Ten brief chapters work through the intellect, the emotions, and the will, then turn to habit formation, how to study, and the child who is still growing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAthearn writes in the terms of his day - the body as a machine with a machinist at the controls, the 'triune man' of body, mind, and spirit - and his aim is always practical: a teacher who grasps how attention and feeling develop will teach better. Read now, it is a clear view of what an ordinary American teacher a century ago was told about the human mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition features: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe complete text in ten chapters, from 'What Is the Mind?' to 'Workers with Immortal Souls'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIssued by The Westminster Press as Section Three of Athearn's teacher-training course \u003cem\u003eTeaching the Teacher\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA plain account of the intellect, the emotions, and the will as they were taught a century ago\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical chapters on habit formation, how to study, and the stages by which a young mind takes shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn accessible way in for readers interested in early twentieth-century ideas about teaching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 30, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67883703402648,"sku":"9781528703666","price":28.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/8830\/4024\/files\/lPNqhIzudl9781528703666.webp?v=1793713890","url":"https:\/\/thepinkflamingobookstore.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-the-study-of-the-mind-paperback","provider":"The Pink Flamingo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
