Excerpt from The Message of Froebel and Other Essays
In a late number of the Cornhill Magazine a witty and forcible writer arrays himself in argument against the "message," which he declares to have been "delivered to the world by Froebel, the great apostle of modern theories of education."
This message, which Froebel adopted from Schiller, by the way, is given by the Cornhill writer as "Come let us live for our children," and by the change of an insignificant preposition is thus converted into something quite different from its original purpose.
The thought in its ideal and inclusive form has confessedly been taken as the watchword of the kindergarten; it has been painted on banners, embroidered on cardboard, illuminated beneath pictures, wrought in evergreen, set in stained glass, painted on title-pages, used as a text for sermons; but note that the motto as it shines and glows in silk and color and gilding, or looks out upon you from the fair white page runs, "Come let us live with our children."
