nave you ever itdiI'eu as Ulucn

life as in the first six? OF the
heavens above you and the earth

and soul? OF elementary, social

And of the activities of life? And
in what other period have you

Try to enumerate the know
ledge gained and the beginnings
made in these years.
Was not the sweet-souled
Bishop Comenius right when he
said that everything one ever
knows or can do has its begin
ming in these years? And Jean
Paul Richter, when he claimed
that the child sees more new
things in these six years play
ing about the door of its village
home than the man can see
travelling around the world, and
learns more from mother and
nurse than it will afterwards
learn from tutors and professors
in college and universities?
Possibilities in Childhood.
Was not Richter right again in
his belief that the most important
thing that can come into the life
of any individual is a happy,
joyous. active childhood? No
fortune. he thought. of material
wealth which parents might
leave their children could ever
compensate for the loss of such
Joyous activity in their early life.
Rousseau and PestalozZi were
right in their new conception of
education as growth and develop
ment through self-activ,ty
rather than the storing Of the
memory with the forms and
phrases of knowledge.
And Froehel was equally right
in his estimate of the value of
socializing the life of little chill
dren through the proper organi.
cation and direction of their
spontaneous plays and other &C
tivities. Since he discovered the
kindergarten thousands of men
and women have worked out its
technique far beyond his ability

among thoughtful educators as
one of the most valuable parts of
our system Of education.
