At one year of age the child says his first intentional wordhis babbling has a purpose, and this intention is a proof of conscious intelligenceHe becomes ever more aware that language refers to his surroundings, and his wish to master it consciously becomes also greater.Subconsciously and unaided, he strains himself to learn, and this effort makes his success all the more astonishing.

When the children had completed an absorbing bit of work, they appeared rested and deeply pleased. It almost seemed as if a road had opened up within their souls that led to all their latent powers, revealing the better part of themselves. They exhibited a great affability to everyone, put themselves out to help others and seemed full of good will.

No adult can bear a child’s burden or grow up in his stead.

We must therefore turn to the child as to the key to the fate of our future life.

Education, as conceived today, is something separated both from biological and social life.

The first essential for the child’s development is concentration. The child who concentrates is immensely happy.

It is true that we cannot make a genius. We can only give to teach child the chance to fulfil his potential possibilities.
