A garden of children was devised by Froebel, a German philosopher and educator, to apply to a system which he elaborated for the instruction of children of very tender years. "Children's garden" ought to be taken in its allegorical sense. The child is a plant, the school is a garden and Froebel calls teachers "gardeners of children." 107 Cal. 190.
