Having, in the chapters of the first volume considered physical growth and the mental and moral perversions incident to adolescence, and given an anthology of descriptions of various phases of this transitional stage of life as conceived or experienced by men and women of historic or literary eminence, the author has, in the chapters that follow, to consider its normal genetic psychology, beginning with sensation and proceeding to feelings, will, and intellect.
The material for what follows is newer, more difficult, and more incomplete, but although many data are already at hand, there has never been any attempt, within the author's knowledge, to bring them together or to draw the scientific and practical inferences they suggest.
After examining physical changes, like changes in the senses and voice, the author examines the evolution and feelings/instincts characteristic of normal adolescence. The education of the heart is described in chapters XI, XV, and XII. Chapter XII also is devoted to that of nature and the sciences most commonly taught. Chapter XIII examines pubic initiations by indigenous cultures, classical ideals and customs, and church confirmation. The adolescent psychology of conversion is examined in Chapter XIV. The last part of Chapter XV and Chapter XVI treats of the pedagogy of the English literature and language, history, drawing, normal and high schools, colleges and universities, and philosophy. Social and religious training have each a chapter (XV and XIV, respectively). The education of girls has Chapter XVII. The final chapter examines ethnic psychology and pedagogy.
