Appendix to the Journals of the Senate and Assembly of the .. session of the Legislature of the State of California . 177* advftnco in definitonoss and complexity, and that each successive giftlimits the freedom of the child, while vastly increasing his powerwithin the boundaries defined. Education, however, must move not only from the simple to the com-plex, hut from the concrete to tiio abstract. Hence in Froebcls SeventhGift we pass from the solid to the surface, and give to the child firstsquares, and then the dittcrent kinds of triangles. Tojpreserve the connection of the gifts and to derive thejsurface, as, logically, it must be derived from thesolid, the square is represented as the embodied sideof the cube. The right angled isosceles triangle is!then derived from the square by the diagonal line,Iand with this triangle as the standard of comparison, the other trianglesare also illustrtited anil defined. The interlacing slats of the Eighth Gift form the transition from the surface to the line. These slats rudeiv represent the line, while, b} breadth, they l_ \^ °°^ are still connected with th
