The world of education is like an island where people cut off from the world are prepared for life by exclusion from it.

This system in which a child is constantly moving objects with his hands and actively exercising his senses, also takes into account a child's special aptitude for mathematics. When they leave the material, the children very easily reach the point where they wish to write out the operation. They can thus carryout an abstract mental operation and acquire a kind of natural and spontaneous inclination for mental calculations.

The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.

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.

The teacher’s first duty is to watch over the environment, and this takes precedence over all the rest. It’s influence is indirect, but unless it be well done there will be no effective and permanent results of any kind, physical, intellectual or spiritual.

The activity of the child has always been looked upon as an expression of his vitality.
