Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Illinois Society for Child-Study, Vol. 2: Report of Work in Child-Study Carried on by Members and Round Tables In spite Of the reluctance which many feel in writing upon a subject which is new to them, the Society has succeeded in getting a number Of responses, most of which appear in the following pages. While many Of these published reports cannot lay Claim to great scientific accuracy, they are still of very great value to the Society in many ways. Those that have not yet taken part in the work of child-study, especially those who have doubted its practical benefits, will receive a new stimulus from the testimony of their fellow workers in all fields and grades. The Society, as an organization, will be better able to know wherein its work in the past has been either efficient or fruitless. It hopes thus to be still better able in the future to guide the work of child-study in this state with efficiency. The material contained within these pages does not by any means represent all of the work that has been carried on by the members Of the Society. The child-study Monthly, edited by Dr. W. O. Krohn, Of Champaign, Illinois, which always co-operated heartily in the work Of the Illinois Society for child-study, has, during the past year, published a number of articles by members Of the Society which should be counted as in part due to inspiration received from the work Of the Society. A number Of others state that they have sent the data which they have collected to G. Stanley Hall, in reply to certain of his syllabi published in the transactions Of the Society. A great many whose names do not appear in these pages, have frequently testified to the benefits they have received from the publications Of the Society. A number of reports that have been sent in were received too late to be published in this number of the transactions. They will probably be reserved for a future number.
