Whatever is presented to him must be made beautiful and clear, striking his imagination. Once this love has been kindled, all problems confronting the educationist will disappear.

Happiness is not the whole aim of education. A man must be independent in his powers and character; able to work and assert his mastery over all that depends on him.

Watching a child makes it obvious that the development of his mind comes through his movements.

If help and salvation are to come they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
