ABSTRACT

The moral educator depends for success on there being that development in the individual child that enables the child to accept thE God of the moral educator as a projection of the goodness that is part of the child and of his actual experience of life. Education in terms of the teaching of arithmetic has to wait for that degree of personal integration in the infant that makes the concept of one meaningful, and also the idea contained in the pronoun singular. Theology, by denying to the developing individual the creating of whatever is bound up in the concept of God and of goodness and of moral values, depletes the individual of an important aspect of creativeness. The basis of child-development is the physical existence of the infant along with his or her inherited tendencies. The child bites in an excited experience of relating to a good object, and the object is felt to be a biting object.
