Education today, in this particular social period, is assuming truly unlimited importance. And the increased emphasis on its practical value can be summed up in one sentence: education is the best weapon for peace.

The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences.

Education should no longer be most imparting of knowledge, but must take a new path, seeking the release of human potentialities.

Solicitous care for living things affords satisfaction to one of the most lively instincts of the child's mind. Nothing is better calculated than this to awaken an attitude of foresight.

Since it is through movement that the will realises itself, we should assist a child in his attempts to put his will into act.

To consider the school as a place where instruction is given is one point of view. But, to consider the school as a preparation for life is another. In the latter case, the school must satisfy all the needs of life.

Imitation is the first instinct of the awakening mind.
