To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— Froebel accepts the psychological point of view almost completely. The fundamental clue to the process of education he finds in his doctrine of the self- activity of the child. Pestalozzi had touched upon this, but Herbart, by his emphasis upon the primary nature of ideas, had been compelled to largely ignore it and to atone for its loss by introducing the doctrine of apperception. But Froe- bel holds conclusively to the rather advanced, even evolu- tionary, doctrine that children are, in the...ir own right, nat- urally and natively active. It is not the teacher's business to get them to act. It is the business of the school to accept this principle of activity and make the most of it. It is the teacher's work to surround the active child with a rich world of possible experiences, so that in all their activity the children will be choosing constructive acts and building up a world of experience that shall be socially and ethically desirable, — ^a world that is in accordance with the principles of the good life.
