Only Through Freedom And Environmental

The Task Of The Educator Lies In Seeing That The Child Does Not Confound Good With Immobility, And Evil With Activity, As Often Happens In Old-time Discipline . . . A Room In Which All The Children Move About Usefully, Intelligently, And Voluntarily, Without Committing Any Rough Or Rude Act, Would Seem To Me A Classroom Very Well Disciplined Indeed.

The Child's Conquests Of Independence Are The Basic Steps In What Is Called His 'natural Development'.

If A Child Finds No Stimuli For The Activities Which Would Contribute To His Development, He Is Attracted Simply To 'things' And Desires To Posses Them.

We Must Therefore Turn To The Child As To The Key To The Fate Of Our Future Life.

The Work Of Education Is Divided Between The Teacher And The Environment.
