that
embraces all there is in the domain of morals, pertaining to right
thinking, right living and right doing. In other words, the action of
the mind comprehends the physical, intellectual, moral and spiritual
expression of the individual. Therefore, by the rightly conducted
processes of a higher education, we may form an evenly developed
character of the highest order. A character, unfolded physically,
intellectually and spiritually, in harmony with the requirements of
cosmic law. Hence, the imperative necessity, in the early training of
children, of introducing the first steps of this system of true
education.

From these premises we must conclude, that the first four years of a
child's life, should be devoted to some systematic method, for acquiring
a most complete equipment of exact images, which will afford the basis
for typical sensations, emotions, ideas and thoughts, regarding things
in the domain of nature, about which, later in life, the child must
know in order to become educated. To this end, children must have
opportunities during these important years of image building, to
experience all the sensations, and to form all the true images, that can
come to them through the senses of seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling,
touching, feeling and sensations of temperature, such as heat and cold.

It is of the utmost importance, that these early images, which are to
become the standard of the mind, in all judgments of future years;
should be made as complete and as perfect as possible.

A child is primarily and instinctively imitative. From the first dawn of
intelligence, children strive to emulate the acts of their brighter,
older and better-taught associates. Hence, the necessity for a nursery
and kindergarten training, such as the one instituted at Solaris.
Practical work, in this novel and magnificently equipped institution,
has proved conclusively, that, even in early infancy, associated
together in happy groups, children acquire intellectual, moral and
physical training, much more easily and swiftly, than is possible under
any other circumstances. This affords another demonstration, of the
efficacy of co-operative group work, in the primary steps of education.

The cargosita, is well calculated to offer children the most perfect
conditions, for accumulating a well selected store of sensations and
images, through the avenues of the different senses. A teacher or nurse,
usually some member of the mothers' cl
