[Gutenberg 54277] • Froebel as a pioneer in modern psychology

Excerpt from Froebel as a Pioneer in Modern Psychology

The purpose of this book is to show that all these things, besides the Kindergarten and the excellent plan for the Helba Institute, did not come into being by chance, but were the outcome of the deep reflection of a man who combined the scientific with the philo sophic temperament; and who, because his ideal as a teacher was Education by Development, had made a special study of the instinctive tendencies, and the requirements of different stages of child development, as I have tried to prove in Chapters VI and VII.
