must be revolutionised so radically, that one now can only
surmise what new forms will be created in future generations.
This transformation can be helped by the training of the
present, by casting aside the withered foliage which now covers
the budding possibilities of life.

The house must once more become a home for the souls of
children, not for their bodies alone. For such homes to be
formed, that in their turn will mould children, the children
must be given back to the home. Instead of the study
preparation at home for the school taking up, as it now does,
the best part of a child's life, the school must get the
smaller part, the home the larger part. The home will have the
responsibility of so using the free time as well on ordinary
days as on holidays, that the children will really become a
part of the home both in their work and in their pleasures. The
children will be taken from the school, the street, the
factory, and restored to the home. The mother will be given
back from work outside, or from social life to the children.
Thus natural training in the spirit of Rousseau and Spencer
will be realised; a training for life, by life at home.

Such was the training of Old Scandanavia; the direct share of
the child in the work of the adult, in real labours and
dangers, gave to the life of our Scandanavian forefathers (with
whom the boy began to be a man at twelve years of age), unity,
character, and strength. Things specially made for children,
the anxious watching over all their undertakings, support given
to all their steps, courses of work and pleasure specially
prepared for children,--these are the fundamental defects of
