Rosmini, the Italian Froebel
Abstract
In the educational world, there has been growing more and more the realization both in a scientific and practical way that, "In the children lies the seed corn of the future." This is shown by the keen concentration on the part of educators, psychologists, and philosophers given to the detailed study of the child from birth on. The importance of the first years of the child’s life is being acknowledged, his physical welfare has become a recognized study, for it is seen that health and strength of maturity depends upon this early growth. Until about the beginning of the nineteenth century, the time of Rosmini and Froebel, scarcely any thought was given to the right or wrong training of the infant’s natural instincts; few people dreamed that this had aught to do with the development of character in succeeding years.
