en 1875 Edward Seguin The Kindergarten Report on Education Vienna International Exhibition, 1873 Washington, D.C. Government Printing Office 17, 18, and 20 3553838 The Kindergärtners began their revolution by substituting objects for books in teaching, according to the express doctrine of Jean-Jacques Rousseau; but that is no evidence that they understood his philosophy. The Kindergärtner indiscriminately begins the teaching of forms, either with a cube alone, or with a cube and a ball, or with several cubes, without appearing to suspect the radical differences between exercises of comparison of the different parts of an object, and of two objects, and the exercises of combination of single objects to form a compound one. At this point, the Kindergärtners fail to establish the link of continuity between the automatic and willed action, the perception and the idea, the instinct and the morality.

Learning by “apprenticeship” will never make a Kindergärtner, though it may be of infinite value to any girl. A good Kindergärtner should not only be a Kindergärtner, but at the same time a good teacher, thus verifying the saying: that a good Kindergärtner may become any day a teacher,—but not vice versa.

Government Printing Office xc https://archive.org/details/reportofcommissi00unit_15/page/n103/mode/1up 54819034 Young Kindergärtner, whose mathematical knowledge is at best very limited, must be carefully trained in this respect, for they do not easily understand the philosophy of it, and thus expose the system to be misjudged by the physicians, who know better of what the little brain is yet capable without injury. If Kindergärtner will confine themselves to making children see things with their own eyes and judge and compare them with their own minds without any attempts at abstractions, they will gradually see them generalize for themselves even in words;
