It is probably more neces- sary to study his career than that of most educators, be- cause his principles are the direct outgrowth of his ex- periences. He was bom in the Swiss town of Zurich in 1746. Altho his mother was left a widow when he was but five years old, by her thrift and intelligence she was able to send him thru the vernacular and Latin schools and the university. The loving but well-regu- lated home life that characterized his childhood made a deep impression upon him and inspire...d him to make it the spirit that should dominate the schoolroom. Under the influence of his grandfather, the pastor of a neigh- boring town, he studied to be a minister, but was un- successful. He was much impressed by the wretched con- dition of the unfortunate peasants and afterwards studied law in order to become their champion. Upon the publication of the *'Emile" and the ''Social Con- tract, ' * like so many of the young Swiss patriots he was inspired to revolutionary propaganda and came into conflict with the government.
