Book excerpt: Excerpt from Friedrich Froebel's Pedagogics of the Kindergarten: Or, His Ideas Concerning the Play and Playthings of the Child The work here offered to the public is a translation of fifteen of the essays of Froebel collected by Wichard Lange into a volume entitled Die Padagogik des Kindergartens, Gedanken Friedrich Froebel's uber das Spiel und die Spielgegenstande des Kindes, Berlin, 1861. The chief value of the present volume is to be found in the thoroughgoing discussion of the first five gifts. Froebel found an educational value in every phase of the child's play, and in every object that engages its attention. His keen scent discovered in the roundness of the ball, in the facility with which it may be moved on a plane surface, an educative effect on the dawning intellect of the child. It is a symbol of a unity that perpetually asserts itself in whatever variety - i. e., in whatever change of place, extension, or movement - happens to it. "The sphere represents to the child every isolated simple unity - the child gets from it a hint of manifoldness as still abiding in unity" (p. 105). Whether the ball or sphere be large or small, every segment of the surface is like every other, and undistinguishable from the others by shape - "the manifoldness abides in unity." That this is akin to the child's consciousness of self is obvious. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
