- FroebelhofBad LiebensteinIn the year 1848, at the end of May, I arrived at Bad Liebenstein in Thuringia. A man had taken up residence at a small farm near the springs, who danced and played with the village children and was therefore called "the old fool." A tall, spare man with long grey hair was leading a troop of village children between the ages of three and eight, most of them barefooted, up a hill where they played and sang. The loving patience of the man, the whole bearing brought tears to my eyes and to those of my companion. The play being ended, I approached the man with the words, "I see you are occupied with the education of the people."
