merry with them; and shut your eyes, now and then, to the tidiness of the house and the arrangement of its furniture.

Open to us the fields of inquiry and discovery, and do not be too angry if this should lead to the spoiling of a vessel, the breaking of a pair of scissors, or the ruin of some contrivance.

Do not worry overmuch about the cleanliness and neatness of our clothes, or the cleanness of our hands and faces; and do not shackle our freedom of play and movement for the sake of such considerations.

Let us sometimes talk at the top of our voices and laugh with all our hearts, without letting our shouting and our din disturb you.

Allow us to show our feelings frankly, even if those feelings sometimes express hostility or anger; for by doing so we rid ourselves of them and escape the danger of bottling them up. For if we suppress such a feeling, its traces are bound to appear in our personalities and to threaten their soundness.

Keep us away from exciting, stimulating atmospheres, and do not multiply orders and demands, but allow us to relax and to be lazy now and then. Do not meddle too much in our private affairs, but leave us room to think and to weigh, and to decide for ourselves certain matters that concern us. And no harm if this leads to the committing of a few mistakes, for we may learn from our mistakes more than we learn from sermons and instructions.

Allow us to proceed in our growth at our own rate, and do not require us to talk or walk or read at the age at which our elder sister talked, or our brother walked, or the neighbors' daughter learned to read.

And last, but not least, entrust our care to one who loves us and understands us, who takes delight in guiding and directing us, and who has patience in helping us to do our tasks by ourselves.

These are the demands that surge in every child's breast; he wishes he might be given the chance to proclaim them aloud and to press for their fulfillment. For all their simplicity and the ease of granting them, they are of surpassing importance in education, because they affect the educational atmos-

phere, and hence the children's minds and personalities, and in many cases they determine the measure of our success in the various processes of education. And these are drawn from the psychological foundations whose soundness educational experiment has proved.

I have chosen to raise them out of love for our little ones, and out of my desire that we secure for them the atmosphere necessary to their growth and their happiness, whether in the home or at school.
