Quotations from Froebel and Jactot, by the Circle.
Wikipedia says:
Friedrich Wilhelm August Fröbel or Froebel (German: [ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈvɪlhɛlm ˈʔaʊɡʊst ˈfʁøːbl̩] ⓘ; 21 April 1782 – 21 June 1852) was a German pedagogue, a student of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, who laid the foundation for modern education based on the recognition that children have unique needs and capabilities. He created the concept of the kindergarten and coined the word, which soon entered the English language as well. He also developed the educational toys known as Froebel gifts.
and:
Joseph (or Jean-Joseph) Jacotot (4 March 1770 – 30 July 1840) was a French teacher and educational philosopher, creator of the method of "intellectual emancipation."

Conditions of the United States Compared with That of the Swiss Repulbic - Miss Stokey.
This must be Alma, because Laura and Eva are too young - Laura is 16 years old and Eva turns 12 on April 3. How odd to see her speaking in public about something other than botany and India!
