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 child, in fact, once he feels sure of himself, will no longer seek the approval of authority after every step.

in nature everything is transformed but nothing destroyed.

If children are allowed free development and given occupation to correspond with their unfolding minds their natural goodness will shine forth.

An educational method that shall have liberty as its basis must intervene to help the child to a conquest of liberty. That is to say, his training must be such as shall help him to diminish as much as possible the social bonds which limit his activity.

No one can be free unless he is independent. Therefore, the first active manifestations of the child's individual liberty must be so guided that through this activity he may arrive at independence.

Education demands, then, only this: the utilization of the inner powers of the child for his own instruction.
