The teacher, when she begins work in our schools, must have a kind of faith that the child will reveal himself through work.

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

But an adult if he is to provide proper guidance, must always be calm and act slowly so that the child who is watching him can clearly see his actions in all their particulars.

How often is the soul of man - especially in childhood - deprived because he is not allowed to come in contact with nature.

If we try to think back to the dim and distant past... what is it that helps us reconstruct those times, and to picture the lives of those who lived in them? It is their art... It is thanks to the hand, the companion of the mind, that civilization has arisen.

The land is where our roots are. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth.

It is necessary, then, to give the child the possibility of developing according to the laws of his nature, so that he can become strong, and, having become strong, can do even more than we dared hope for him.
