This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ...and increase its growth. In the third stage the part is nearly mature, and soon will grow no more. It can now endure more strain of hard work without injury. In the baby under eight months the leg muscles are in the first stage. Crawling and walking mark the beginning of the second stage which is continuing in the years we are interested in. The incessant trotting about provides the very necessary exercise needed for vigorous growth. The muscles crave exercise, and a large amount of it--but in short periods only, and at frequent intervals. A child of four or five may easily cover ten miles in the course of his running about during the day; but we could not take such a child on an unbroken ten-mile walk without serious fatigue and probable injury. In their spontaneous play you will notice that the heavy muscles of the legs are used more than those of the arms, agreeing with what was said above as to the earlier development of the lower limbs. The arms, too, tend to move as a whole from the shoulder in movements such as waving, pounding, pushing, showing how the fore-arm is less well advanced than the upper arm, and, as was stated before, how the muscles called "fundamental" are better controlled earlier than those called "accessory." The finger muscles have not yet acquired much independence, and are not at all ready to execute complicated movements. The brain follows the same laws of variation in growth. Most of its weight is gained before birth; by three years old it has gained about seven ninths of its adult weight and about nine tenths at six years old. Its period of mere growth then is slackening, but the exercise of it is very important. The simpler parts of the brain develop first. Those parts which have to do with receiving...
