Document Summary
Age of nature young children must emphasize the physical side of their education; allowed to play in nature, experience the world, etc. The laws, always more concerned about property than about people, since their object is not virtue but peace, the laws give too little authority to the mother . All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come to man"s estate, is the gift of education. This education comes to us from nature, from men, or from things . Forced to combat either nature or society, you must make your choice between the man and the citizen, you cannot train both . The charms of home are the best antidote to vice. The noisy play of children, which we thought so trying, becomes a delight; mother and father rely more on each other and grow dearer to one another; the marriage tie is strengthened.
