[h • 10 • 46] PHINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PREFACE WHAT this book hopes to do is to offer a general system for clearing the mind of harmful obstructions. It is an attempt to apply certain scientific and literary principles, or, as we may call them, semantic principles, to the thinking, talking, listening, reading, and writing we do in everyday life. Everyone knows how an engine, although in perfect repair, can overheat, lose its efficiency, and stop as the result of in- ternal obstructions—sometimes even very minute ones. Every- one has noticed, too, how human minds, also apparendy in perfect repair, often overheat and stop as the result of dogmas, received opinions, or private obsessions. Sometimes a set of obsessions may seize multitudes of people at once, so that hysteria becomes epidemic and nations go mad. The recur- rence of such disorders tempts many of us to conclude that there are fundamental and incurable defects in "human na- ture." The fudlity of such an attitude needs hardly to be re- marked upon.

Home & Family Poems by Edgar Guest EDGAR GUEST If ever there were a “Poet Laureate” for homeschoolers, it surely would be Edgar A. Guest. His writings consist of light folksy verse centered around the joys of home and family, motherhood and fatherhood, the virtues of honest labor and plain living. Guest’s sentimental, optimistic poems are based upon the traditional values of small-town America. His poetry was widely read in the early 20th century. Edgar Albert Guest was born in Birmingham, England, to Edwin and Julia Guest on August 20, 1881. The family moved to the United States in 1891 and settled in Detroit, Michigan, where “Eddie” was educated. After Edgar’s father lost his job in early 1893, the 11-year-old began working odd jobs after school. In 1895 he was hired as a copy boy for the Detroit Free Press . When Edgar was 17, his father died.
