INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY.
This is the liberty of the indivi- dual. The mystery of the child's Inner boing is his secret, and we have to gulde him while leaving him free. This is the culminating point of liberty. I believe that if the child continues to act on the lines of this method, he will develop into a man, who has bulit up in liberty an inner vorld of his own.

From this training emerges a new type of teacher who can honestly say— "We have discovered what seems a humble path, but which has yield ed great fruits; for no one had ever found in children such powers and capacities as have been seen and verified, contrary to all expec. tntien, in our children."
