To leave these summary comparisons, Froebel is the best and truest
successor of Pestalozzi, the more so from the very fact that he
differed from the latter in many respects. By his clearer and more
comprehensive understanding of the child’s nature and wants, by his
enlarging the means to meet these, by his extending the scope and stage
of educability of the child, he best complements the work begun by his
predecessor. We may say with Carl Cassau: “He has regained for the
child its paradise, and thus crowned the work of Pestalozzi” (18: p.
464).
