Excerpt from A Comparative Study of the Play Activities of Adult Savages and Civilized Children: An Investigation of the Scientific Basis of Education If the comparison of phylogenetic and ontogenetic play activities has taught us anything, it is that physical and mental life are so closely cor related that the type of the one cannot be dissociated from the type of the other in any individual. Hence any art of instruction, to be adequate to the situation, must likewise change in type from individual to individual, as well as from age to age. This statement of the principle, as a mere statement, is, perhaps, not startlingly original; but it would be startling indeed to find a school curriculum conforming to it.
