Présentation de l'éditeur
Cambridge, Mass., March 1, 1869. Since publishing the first edition of what I meant to 1)8 a Guide to those who undertake to give Kindergarten culture, I have heen in Europe, and made a special study of the Kindergartens established in Hamburgh, Berlin, and Dresden, by Froebel himself, and his most distinguished scholars. This study has more and more confirmed the conviction I derived from reading Froebel s Essay on the Education of the Human Kace; viz., that no greater benefit could be conferred on our couutry, than the far and wide spread of Kindergartens, as an underpinning, so to say, of our noble public-school system, giving adequate moral foundation, thoroughness, and practicality to the national education. But I also learned that no book could be written that would make an expert Kindergartner. It was the careful observations and earnest experiments of half a century, that gave to Froebel himself that profound knowledge of childhood which enabled him to formulate the principles, deduce the rules, and call forth the spirit of a genuine art of education. But though no genius and industry less than his own could have originated this art, any soundly cultured, intelligent, genial-tempered young woman, who loves children, can appreciate and practise it, if and only if she is trained by a living teacher engaged in the work at the ujinent. This, I myself have proved experimentally also ;for r.wj knowledge was first obtained only from books.
