About This Book
THE Kindergarten aims to reach the thought of the child through his affections and sympathies, and it excites these by appealing to his activities. It may be defined as an organized sequence of experiences, through which the child grows into self-knowledge, clear observation and conscious grasp of the whole circle of his relationships. Realizing a hint of Goethe's, in the Pedagogic Province, to the effect that Music should be the center and starting point of education, the Method of the Kindergarten circles around the Songs and Games. The characteristic feature of these Songs and Games, considered as a whole, is that they express the same idea in Words, Melody and Motion, appealing thus to the thought, feeling and activity of the child.
