In the psychological realm of relationship between teacher and child, the teacher's part and its techniques are analogous to those of the valet; they are to serve, and to serve well: to serve the spirit.

Love and the hope of it are not things one can learn; they are a part of life's heritage.

How does he achieve this independence? He does it by means of a continuous activity. How does he become free? By means of constant effort. we know that development results from activity. The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences.

He does it with his hands, by experience, first in play and then through work. The hands are the instruments of man's intelligence.

To teach details is to bring confusion; to establish the relationship between things is to bring knowledge.

The teacher's task is not to talk, but to prepare and arrange a series of motives for cultural activity in a special environment made for the child.

Of all things love is the most potent.
