In this work he shows how the future power of will lies hidden in the characteristics of the child, and how along with every fault of the child an uncorrupted germ capable of producing good is enclosed. "Always," he says, "I repeat the golden words of the teacher of mankind, 'if ye do not become as one of these,' and now, good friend, those who are our equals, whom we should look upon as our models, we treat as subjects; they should have no will of their own; do we have none? Where is our prerogative? Does it consist in the fact that we are older and more experienced? Good God of Heaven! Thou seest old and young children, nothing else. And in whom Thou hast more joy, Thy Son announced ages ago. But people believe in Him and do not hear Him - that, too, is an old trouble, and they model their children after themselves." The same criticism might be applied to our present educators, who constantly have on their tongues such words as evolution, indivi-duality, and natural tendencies, but do not heed the new commandments in which they say they believe. They continue to educate as if they believed still in the natural depravity of man, in original sin, which may be bridled, tamed, suppressed, but not changed.

1913. With an introduction by Havelock Ellis. Varnhagen lived during the crucial period of assimilation in Germany, when it seemed imperative for Jews to escape their Jewishness. From the Preface: The following pages are not a study in literary history; no search has been made for new authorities, and no stress is laid on literal accuracy in the case of the sources that have been used. Such a work was within neither the aim nor the compass of this book. My aim has been to give a portrait of the greatest woman the Jewish race has produced; to my mind also the greatest woman Germany can call her daughter. Contents: Origin; Personality; Love; Religion; Fellow-feeling; Social Life; Goethe; Sense of Beauty; and Letters.

I året 1900 udgav den svenske forfatter Ellen Key en bog, som blev oversat til mange sprog, og rejste en vældig debat og en fremskridtsforventning, som selv Første og Anden Verdenskrig ikke kunne dæmpe.

Første kapitel omhandler "Barnets Ret til at vælge sine Forældre".Barnets ret til at vælge forældre havde ifølge Key sammenhæng med en ny menneskenatur, som skulle udvikles ved at forlade det kristne standpunkt til fordel for et naturvidenskabeligt og evolutionært. Hun taler om udviklingslærens religion og om, at de nye mennesker vil blive skabt i takt med en ændret opfattelse af menneskets egentlige bestemmelse. Barnets Aarhundrede vil opstå i kraft af en ny holdning hos forældre og samfund i øvrigt.Bogen er i to dele. Dette er del 2
