Project Gutenberg 2004-02-01 Public domain in the USA. 682 Wilderspin, Samuel 1791 1866 The Infant System For Developing the Intellectual and Moral Powers of all Children, from One to Seven years of Age Produced by Stan Goodman, Josephine Paolucci and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Infant System" by Samuel Wilderspin is a treatise on early childhood education, written in the mid-19th century. The book outlines the author's innovative approach to developing the intellectual and moral capabilities of children aged one to seven, drawing on extensive observations from his direct experience in infant education and the management of schools across the UK. Wilderspin argues for the importance of early education, promoting a system that emphasizes nurturing creativity and moral virtue while also addressing societal issues such as juvenile delinquency. At the start of the book, Wilderspin reflects on his own childhood and the formative experiences that inspired him to create the Infant System. He shares anecdotes about his upbringing, including the early lessons imparted by his parents and his unhappiness in conventional schooling. Wilderspin discusses the emotional and intellectual development of young children, emphasizing the significance of a supportive and stimulating environment, and critiques the deficiencies of existing educational methods. He articulates his vision for a holistic approach to education that incorporates play, moral teachings, and sensory experiences, setting the foundation for a comprehensive framework that he further elaborates throughout the work.
