the instruction they call "intellectual instruction," so that pupils rush to choose intellectual subjects instead of practical vocational subjects, throwing to the winds the country's industrial and agricultural future, and heedless too of their own future as individuals trained in occupations that would assure them a life of prosperity and production. It grieves deeply over this state of affairs prevailing in our country, and tries to create new directions and open minds for the good of the nation and its needs; and it concerns itself with schooling the young and their parents together to respect the practical occupation and to grant it an esteemed standing, equal in their eyes to the standing of the other professions.
Then it provides technical schools and practical courses in the fields of agriculture, industry, and commerce, and it prepares scientific laboratories that help in prospecting for the country's raw wealth, exploiting it, and turning it into products for consumption
and export. In other words, education undertakes, through the schools and the other scientific institutions, to prepare the young to profit from the wealth of their country, and to train them to establish economic and constructive projects that raise the country's social, economic, and cultural level.
Finally, there must be close cooperation between parents and teachers, since each group has its effective influence in the fields of education; therefore they must unite their efforts and proceed together in training the young and directing them to set out toward a life more glorious, loftier, nobler, and dearer.
Come, then, let us cast off the stern, dry methods whose nature is to create a fearsome educational atmosphere that stifles the child's capacities and his natural readiness for movement and growth, and let us replace them with studied, renewing methods that respect the child's feelings and make of him a conscious cit
izen who respects himself and is respected by others. And let the child be, in all our educational undertakings, the point of support and the object of concern.
My little girl was gazing up at the sky, staring into the magic of nature, so I asked her: "What are you thinking about?" After a moment she answered: "The sky must surely be wonderfully beautiful — otherwise, its back would not be as lovely as this!!"
