Excerpt from Education by Doing, or Occupations and Busy Work, for Primary ClassesIn observing the results achieved by the Kinder garten, educators have felt that Froebel's great discovery of education by occupations must have something for the public school - that a further ap plication of the putting of experience and action in the place of books and abstract thinking, could be made beyond the fifth or sixth year of the child's life.
