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

The child seeks for independence by means of work; an independence of body and mind.

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.

There should be music in the child's environment, just as there does exist in the child's environment spoken speech. In the social environment the child should be considered and music should be provided.

The ‘absorbent mind’ welcomes everything, puts its hope in everything, accepts poverty equally with wealth, adopts any religion and the prejudices and habits of its countrymen, incarnating all in itself. This is the child!

Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.

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