Excerpt from The First School Year: For Primary Workers

One thing is certain; you must have the whole child with you if any kind of good work is to be accomplished. This means that not only the child's body must be pres ent in the schoolroom, that his mind must in some degree be responsive to yours, but that the soul of the child, the feeling, will ing, motive-making part of him, must be with you also. For his own good you want him to do certain things. You have the power to make him do them; that is, you can control his body and, in a degree, his mind, by virtue of the authority vested in you as teacher but the soul of the child, the part that makes him want to do the thing that should be done, must be won. It cannot be driven or coerced in any way. Authority cannot reach it, but it comes forth gladly, more than half way, in response to the teacher who has the heaven-given power of drawing it to herself.
