In other words, in place of an elementary education based on reading, a little writing and spelling, and the catechism, all of a memoriter type and with religious ends in view, a new primary school, essentially secular in character, was created by the work of Pestalozzi. This new school was based on the study of real objects, learning through sense impressions, the individual expression of ideas, child activity, and the development of the child's powers in an orderly way. In fact, ""the development of the faculties"" of the child became a by-word with Pestalozzi and his followers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
