Abstract

How can we expect to know and understand, much less enjoy the real child in the atmosphere of rigid formality of the traditional school? By stressing the acquisition of knowledge and information, the development of skills and habits, an appeal is made only to the child’s intellectual nature. Thus, we overlook the fact that the child is a personality with more than a memory side; that he is a being com¬ posed of a body and a soul, a mind and a will, which must be trained if he is to live a full life. For the complete realization of his own powers and the integration of his personality, he must develop spiritually, emotionally and physically as well as intellectually.
