Excerpt from The Way to the Heart of the Pupil
This book found in the land of its origin, and also, far beyond the limits of the German language, an enthusiastic reception. The public has given it almost undivided applause. Only here and there my statements have been doubted. As these doubts were expressed to me in private, I feel it my duty not to keep silent regarding them, in order that my American reader may know what they are. This also gives me an opportunity to correct some wrong conceptions of my meaning.
The following objections to my conclusions have been made:
I. One critic contends that with love alone we could not educate the young. Fear is an important means of education. "But," my critic says, you oppose its use as such."

Indeed, I have found through experience at conferences, that some colleagues regard me as the apostle of soft-heartedness.
