On such labours the blessing of God would inevitably rest, and His promise of their success is positive and unconditional.
"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." To the furtherance of the infant system I have devoted for many years my utmost energies and resources, and to it I purpose to give them, so long as I am permitted by the gracious Providence of God.

I shall be happy to render it any aid, either by supplying information to those who need it, or by personal exertions, the expenses of so doing being defrayed; on application to my Publisher, 22, Portugal Street, Lincoln's Inn, London, or to myself', at Moor Cottage, Wakefield.
In order to urge the necessity, and explain the design of infant schools, I have for some years been accustomed to deliver a course of lectures, of which the following is an outline:-- FIRST LECTURE .-- Affecting state of the children of the poor--Lamentable condition of young delinquents--What are the causes ?--The question answered--Bodily and mental injuries now sustained by children of all ranks, described and prevented--What is the best remedy for existing evils ?--Answer given--Origin and history of the Infant System--Its progress in Scotland, where it might least have been expected--What are the objections to the system ?--Practical refutation of them--Modes of instruction: The alphabet, spelling, reading, arithmetic--Moral cultivation enforced, and the means explained.
SECOND LECTURE .-- A play-ground made not only delightful, but _mentally and morally_ improving--The class-room adapted to produce and confirm religious impressions--Music, its application to improve the feelings and memory--Representations of natural objects and scriptural subjects--Variety and extent of information attainable--Lying, dishonesty, injustice, and cruelty corrected.
THIRD LECTURE .-- New plans of reward and punishment--Influence of fear and love--Great difference in the result--Infant system more fully explained--Appeals to conscience--Emulation unnecessary--Elliptical plan of teaching described--Trials by jury--Effect of sympathy--Infants the instruments of improving one another.
FOURTH LECTURE .-- Methods of teaching the elements of grammar, geography, and geometry--Gallery described, and its application to many useful purposes--Qualifications of instructors--Injury sustained from their deficiencies and errors--The system contrasted with former methods--Ultimate effects of its diffusion--Servants prepared to become blessings to families--Hints to parents, and the application of the whole system to children of every grade.
These lectures I am ready to deliver wherever it may be deemed desirable, and to follow up the effect by the organization of schools.
The necessary apparatus may be obtained of myself..
