No social problem is as universal as the oppression of the child

The child's conquest of independence begins with his first introduction to life. While he is developing, he perfects himself and overcomes every obstacle that he finds in his path. A vital force is active within him, and this guides his efforts towards their goal. It is a force called the 'horme', by Sir Percy Nunn.

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

Movement, or physical activity, is thus an essential factor in intellectual growth, which depends upon the impressions received from outside. Through movement we come in contact with external reality, and it is through these contacts that we eventually acquire even abstract ideas.

The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six.

Childhood constitutes the most important element in an adult's life, for it is in his early years that a man is made.

The child is an enigma… He has the highest potentialities, but we do not know what he will be.
