Teach by teaching, not by correcting

It is well to cultivate a friendly feeling towards error, to treat it as a companion inseparable from our lives, as something having a purpose, which it truly has.

A child is a discoverer. He is an amorphous, splendid being in search of his own proper form.

We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself; this is the art of those who aspire to serve the spirit.

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 adult works to improve his environment while the child works to improve himself.

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.
