He who is served is limited in his independence.

A teacher, therefore, who would think that he could prepare himself for his mission through study alone would be mistaken. The first thing required of a teacher is that he be rightly disposed for his task.

Education should therefore include the two forms of work, manual and intellectual, for the same person, and thus make it understood by practical experience that these two kinds complete each other and are equally essential to a civilized existence.

The word education must not be understood in the sense of teaching but of assisting the psychological development of the child.

We seek to sow life in the child rather than theories, to help him in his growth, mental and emotional as well as physical, and for that we must offer grand and lofty ideas to the human mind.

Mental development must be connected with movement and be dependent on it. It is vital that educational theory and practice should be informed by that idea.

A child's work is to create the person she/he will become.
