Book Description
Excerpt from Letters to a Mother on the Philosophy of Froebel Froebel seizes the rudimentary activities in the child's mind and discovers means of exercising them so as to educate them by development. He makes a systematic series of plays and games which point prophetically forward to the civilization which reveals itself in adult occupations. The theory of evolution explains each faculty and habit of man by pointing back to some violence or danger against which the animal aroused all its energies to protect itself. The faculty or habit is a survival of that struggle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
