More real facts may be taught children simultaneously by the master, than can be taught by all the monitors in a school.

The little infants should always sit at the bottom, and by no means be confined to another room.

They can see and hear all that is going on, and understand it far more than you would suppose, though they cannot yet tell all they learn and know; but when the power of speech comes, they will surprise you with what they have learned.

It is therefore a great error to separate children and cut them off from the advantage of all object-lessons, and gallery-teaching, because they are the youngest.

They learn more through sympathy and communion with their five or six year elders, than the most clever adult can teach them.
