The Modern School in France

The modern school in france was founded long before ferrar's time. It originator, though on a small scale, was that sweet spirit louise michel. Paul robin aimed at a higher ideal than merely modern ideas in education. He wanted to demonstrate by actual facts that the burgeois conception of heredity is but a mere pretext to exempt society from its terrible crimes against the young. Proper economic and social environment, the breath and freedom of nature, healthy exercise, love and sympathy would destroy the cruel, unjust and criminal stigma imposed on the innocent young. The child is to the teacher what clay is to the sculptor.
