The Laws of the Mind
By Friedrich Fröbel (1782–1852)
From ‘Froebel’s Letters on the Kindergarten’: Translation of Michaelis and Moore
I
AM firmly convinced that all the phenomena of the child-world, those which delight us as well as those which grieve us, depend upon fixed laws as definite as those of the cosmos, the planetary system, and the operations of nature; and it is therefore possible to discover them and examine them. When once we know and have assimilated these laws, we shall be able powerfully to counteract any retrograde and faulty tendencies in the children, and to encourage, at the same time, all that is good and virtuous.
