Excerpt from The Kinder-Garten: Principles of Frubel"s System and Their Bearing on the Education of Women; Also Remarks on the Higher Education of Women
The short papers here given to the public were originally published in the "Women"s Education Journal" in two distinct series, which are now reprinted together, because they bear ultimately upon the same important subject - the duty laid upon women to fit themselves to be the educators of the race. It were vain to lay down the Kinder-garten System, if women are not ready to practice it; the philosophy of Frobel must remain a dead letter as regards all practical influence, on society, if women are not capable of understanding and acting upon, its principles. The Kinder-garten System presents itself, therefore; to those who are anxious to forward the education of women under an aspect of twofold importance - that which it ostensibly claims as a means of developing childish faculty, and that which it indirectly possesses by its imperative claim on the exercise of the highest faculties in women. Family life, few will deny, is the centre of national welfare; and Nature herself has placed women as the central power of family life. Any wide, moral, and intellectual reform must then begin here.
