Elementary I"Through manual activity the child reaches a higher level of intelligence; whoever has worked with his own hands has a stronger character. My experience has shown that if for some particularities of the environment, the child cannot make use of his hands, his character remains at a very low level, he remains incapable of obedience or initiative, and becomes lazy and sad, while the child who has been able to work with his hands shows a marked development and force of character."
