NARRATION (Composition)

Overpressure.--A great deal has been said lately about the danger of overpressure, of requiring too much mental work from a child of tender years. The danger exists; but lies, not in giving the child too much, but in giving him the wrong thing to do, the sort of work for which the present state of his mental development does not fit him.


“But one who tries this method on himself will find that in the act of narrating every power of his mind comes into play." CM
