• Education--Drawing out of the potentialities of an individual
• Three Fundamental Principles: (Ruskin)
  • Health of Body
  • Education in Gentleness & Justice
  • Education for Life's Work
• Schooling Requirements:
  • Educate personal & community health, earn a living, parenthood, cooperation in social living, discover and foster special gifts, ensure use of hands, esthetic culture
  • Foster interest & enthusiasm... labor becomes untiring joy...with "Zest to work", love good workmanship
  • "35hr labor week"--discovering self & capacity for self expression
  • Search for & discovery of talent---gifted children: spontaneous gifts are at surface,... but countless other children with dormant capabilities await some contact in which to bloom
  • The "best rest" --to do something new and different (rejuvenate)
  • Conscious direction of living--Interest "in waves", be aware & ride it
