The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving. The most important motive for study at school, at the university, and in life is the pleasure of working and thereby obtaining results which will serve the community. Such a basis alone can lead to the joy of possessing one of the most precious assets in the world - knowledge or artistic skill. Our aim is not only to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core. We do not want complacent pupils, but eager ones.
Instruction becomes a living thing.
Instead of being illustrated, it is brought to life. Experience is a key for the intensification of instruction given inside the school. To do well, it is necessary to aim at giving the elementary age child an idea of all fields of study and the sciences, not in precise detail, but an impression. The idea is to sow the seeds of knowledge at this age, when a sort of sensitive period for the imagination exists. The examination of detail in later years stems from this early study of the whole.
