Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Scientific Study of Infant Intelligence: A Lecture
This brings us to an important and most interesting part of our subject; that which relates to the moral development of infants; but it is not desirable, if it were possible, to dwell long on this branch of inquiry. Since the doctrines of total depravity and original sin were given up, it has been generally agreed that infants have come directly from Heaven and as cherubs without wings afford the nearest representation pos sible of the celestial inhabitants. The recorded observations throw a strong light on this attractive theory and clearly show that the moral sentiments of infants are as numerous and as lively as - as snakes in Ireland. The lamentable conclusion of all the authorities is that the less said on the subject the better for the feeling of all parties especially in view of the doctrine of heredity. As one writer expresses it, From two to four years of age children are transparent egotists, very self conscious and almost destitute of moral sense. Their parents are their moral law and then follows the natural inference, Even at five years of age their standard of morality is not high and is liable to frequent and serious relapses.

Excerpt from The Scientific Study of Infant Intelligence: A Lecture
The Versatile Baby.
Dramatis Persona.
Ma, the baby's mother.
Pa, the baby's father.
Baby, the boy himself.
Chorus, sisters, cousins, aunts, grandma.
Ma - Come, Baby, show these people here
How very smart you are.
Call Pa.
Baby - Ba! ba! Bopup.
Chorus - Precious heart,
How very smart.
Pa - Now, darling, sing that pitty song,
"Baa! baa! black sheep," for pa.
Baa! baa!
Baby - Ba! ba! Bopup.
Chorus - Well, I declare.
What genius rare!
Ma - And now, my precious little one,
Say by by to papa,
Ta-ta.
Baby - Ba! ba! Bopup.
Chorus,
O, wonderful! magnificent! his like was never seen;
A most precocious youth is this whose weeks are but eighteen.
To say so much, and like to say it all so very plain!
His equal ne'er has been before nor will be e'er again.
Upon his natal day the Fates in union must have smiled,
For nothing else could have produced so versatile a child.
