"A/I"" J U L E S STEEGr has rendered a real service to _±_T_J_. French and American teachers by his judicious selections from Rousseau's Smile. For the three-volume novel of a hundred years ago, with its long disquisitions and digressions, so dear to the heart of our patient ancestors, is now distasteful to all but lovers of the curious in books. '...
JACQUES ROUSSEAU'S book on education has had a powerful influence throughout Europe, and even in the New World*- It was in its day a kind of gospel. It had its share in bringing about the Revolution which renovated the. entire aspect of our country. Many of the reforms so lauded by it have since then been carried into effect, and at this day seem e...
TPIE first book, after some general remarks upon education, treats especially of early infancy; of the first years of life; of the care to be bestowed upon very young children; of the nursing of them; of the laws of health. He makes education begin at birth; expresses himself on the sub ject of the habits to be given or to be avoided; discusses the...
M I N G from the hand of the Author of all things, everything is good; in the hands of man, everything degenerates. Man obliges one soil to nourish the productions of another, one tree to'bear the fruits of another ; he mingles and confounds climates, elements, seasons ; he mutilates his dog, his horse, his slave. He overturns everything, disfig ur...
T H E new-born child needs to stretch and to move his limbs so as to draw them out of the torpor in which, rolled into a ball, they have so long remained. We do stretch his limbs, it is true, but we prevent him from moving them. W c even constrain his head into a baby's cap. It seems as if we were afraid he might appear to be alive. The inaction, t...
Children's first impressions are purely those of feeling; they perceive only pleasure and pain. Unable either to move about, or to grasp anything with their hands, they need a great deal of time to form sensations which represent, and so make them aware of objects outside of themselves. But, during all this time, while these objects are extending, ...
R E A S O N alone teaches us to know good and evil. Con science, which makes us love the one and hate the other, is independent of reason, but cannot grow strong without its aid. Before reaching years of reason, we do good and evil unconsciously. There is no moral character in our actions, although there sometimes is in our feeling toward those act...
F R O M the time they are born, children hear people speak. Thej 7 are spoken to not only before they understand what is said to them, but before the} 7 can repeat the sounds they hear. Their organs, still benumbed, adapt themselves only by degrees to imitating the sounds dictated to them, and it is not even certain that these sounds are borne to t...
T H E second book takes the child at about the fifth year, and con ducts him to about the twelfth year. lie is no longer the little child; he is the young boy. His education becomes more impor tant. It consists not in studies, in reading or writing, or in duties, but in well-choseu plays, in ingenious recreations, in well-directed experiments. Ther...
is the second period of life, and the one at which, . properly speaking, infancy ends; for the words infans and puer are not synonymous. 1 The first is included in the second, and means one who cannot speak: thus in Valerius Maxim us we find the expression puerum infantem. But I shall continue to employ the word according to the usage of the French...
41 Far from taking care that fimile does not hurt himself, I shall be dissatisfied if he never does, and so grows up unac quainted with pain. To suffer is the first and most neces sary thing for him to learn. Children are little and weak, apparently that they may learn these important lessons. If a child fall his whole length, he will not break his...
A L T H O U G H the longest term of human life, and the proba bility, at any given age, of reaching this term, have been computed, nothing is more uncertain than the continuance of each individual life: very few attain the maximum. The greatest risks in life are at its beginning ; the less one has lived, the less prospect he has of living. Of all c...
H E alone has his own way who, to compass it, does not need the arm of another to lengthen his own. Consequently freedom, and not authority, is the greatest good. A man who desires only what he can do for himself is really free to do whatever he pleases. From this axiom, if it be applied to the case of childhood, all the rules of education will fol...
L O C K E ' S great maxim was that we ought to reason with children, and just now this maxim is much in fashion. I think, however, that its success does not warrant its reputa tion, and I find nothing more stupid than children who have been so much reasoned with. Reason, apparently a com pound of all other faculties, the one latest developed, and w...
T R E A T your pupil as his age demands. From the first, as sign him to his true place, and keep him there so effectually that he will not try to leave it. Then, without knowing what wisdom is, he will practise its most important lesson. Never, absolutely never, command him to do a thing, what ever it may be. 1 Do not let him even imagine that you ...
M A Y I venture to state here the greatest, the most impor tant, the most useful rule in all education? It is, not to gain time, but to lose it. Forgive the paradox, O my ordi nary reader! It must be uttered by anyone who reflects, and whatever you may say, I prefer paradoxes to prejudices. The most perilous interval of human life is that between b...
OUR first duties are to ourselves ; our first feelings are concentrated upon ourselves ; our first natural movements have reference to our own preservation and well-being. Thus our first idea of justice is not as due from us, but to us. One error in the education of to-day is, that by speak ing to children first of their duties and never of their r...
W E are now within the domain of morals, and the door is open to vice. Side by side with conventionalities and duties spring up deceit and falsehood. As soon as there are things we ought not to do, we desire to hide what we ought not to have done. As soon as one interest leads us to promise, a stronger one may urge us to break the promise. Our chie...
EXACTLY contrary to the cases just described are those whom a happy temperament exalts above their years. As there are some men who never outgrow childhood, so there are others who never pass through it, but are men almost from their birth. The difficulty is that these exceptional cases are rare and not easily distinguished; besides, all mothers ca...
EESPECT children, and be in no haste to judge their actions, good or evil. Let the exceptional cases show themselves such for some time before you adopt special methods of deal ing with them. Let nature be long at work before you attempt to supplant her, lest you thwart her work. You say you know how precious time is, and do not wish to lose it. Do...
PEDAGOGUES, who make such an imposing display of what they teach, are paid to talk in another strain than mine, but their conduct shows that they think as I do. For after all, what do they teach their pupils? Words, words, words. Among all their boasted subjects, none are selected because they are useful; such would be the sciences of things, in wh...
PHYSICAL TRAINING. 91 stand the business you have undertaken; that you know the natural progress of the human mind; that you understand studying mankind in general and in individual cases ; that among all the objects interesting to his age that you mean to show your pupil, you know beforehand which of them will influence his will. , Now if you have...
MAN'S first natural movements are for the purpose of comparing himself with whatever surrounds him and finding in each thing those sensible qualities likely to affect himself. His first study is, therefore, a kind of experimental physics relating to his own preservation. From this, before he has fully understood his place here on earth, he is turne...
CHILDREN need a great deal of sleep because they take a great deal of exercise. The one acts as corrective to the other, so that both are necessary. As nature teaches us, night is the time for rest. Constant observation shows that sleep is softer and more profound while the sun is below the horizon. The heated air does not so perfectly tranquillize...
A CHILD has not a man's stature, strength, or reason ; but he sees and hears almost or quite as well. His sense of taste is as keen, though he does not enjoy it as a pleasure. Our senses are the first powers perfected in us. They arc the first that should be cultivated and the only ones forgotten, or at least, the most neglected. To exercise the se...
