The various talks have been cut down here, enlarged there, condensed in one place, amplified in another, from year to year, as knowledge and experience have grown; many of the ideas which they advocated in the beginning have been eliminated, as being completely reversed by the passage of time, and much new matter has been added as the kindergarten principle has developed. They are as much a growth as a coral reef, though the authors have little hope that they will be as enduring. The kindergarten of 1895 is not the kindergarten of 1880, for the science of education has made great strides in these past fifteen years. Many things which were held to be vital principles when we began our talks with kindergarten students, we now find were but lifeless methods after all. It is not that time has reversed the fundamental principles on which the kindergarten rests, -these are as true as truth and as changeless; but the interpretation of them has greatly changed and broadened with the passage of years, and many of the instrumentalities of education which Froebel devised are destined to further transformation in the future. For this reason, the last book on the kindergarten is sometimes the best book, since it naturally embodies the latest thought and discovery on the subject. These talks on the kindergarten have purposely been divested of a certain amount of technicality and detail, in the hope that they will thus reach not only kindergarten students, but the many mothers and teachers who really long to know what Froebel's system of education is and what it aims to do.

The Children of the Future is a novel written by Nora Archibald Smith and published in 1898. The story is set in the future, where technology has advanced to the point where children are born and raised in artificial environments, without any human contact or emotion. The children are trained to be efficient and productive members of society, but they lack empathy and creativity. The protagonist of the story is a young woman named Mary, who is one of the few people who still remembers what it was like to have a natural upbringing. She becomes a teacher at a school for these ""artificial"" children and tries to awaken their emotions and teach them the value of human connection. As Mary struggles to break through the barriers of the children's programming, she also finds herself falling in love with a man named John, who is similarly disillusioned with the sterile society they live in. Together, they work to bring about a revolution that will change the way children are raised and society functions as a whole. The Children of the Future is a thought-provoking novel that explores the dangers of relying too heavily on technology and the importance of human connection and emotion. It is a classic work of science fiction that remains relevant to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

There is no doubt, I fear, that certain people are born without, as certain other people are born with, a love of poetry. Any natural gift is a great advantage, of course, be it physical, mental, or spiritual. The dear old tales which suggest the presence of fairies at the cradle of the new-born child, dealing out, not very impartially, talents, charms, graces, are not so far from the real truth. You may have been given a straight nose, a rosy cheek, a courteous manner, a lively wit, a generous disposition; but perhaps the Fairy Fine-Ear, who hears the grass grow, and the leaf-buds throb, had a pressing engagement at somebody else's cradle-side when you most needed her benefactions.
