They are the following: everything in teaching and education which is geometry and. arithmetic, everything which necessitates the forming of mental images of number and space helps the ego to settle itself well into the organism, provided the child takes it in and works it through. Equally, everything in language which is of a musical nature, for example rhythm in recitation, etc, helps the ego to settle properly into the organism. Music will be specially beneficial for a somewhat fanciful child when we use it in such a way that we develop the child's ability to recollect music, his musical, memory. These are the means we must use when we notice that the ego of a child does not want to enter into the organism properly, when the child might easily remain fanciful. In the moment, however, when we notice that a child is becoming too earthly, that the ego is too strongly dependent on the body, we let the child draw the forms which are otherwise grasped more through thought. The moment we let the child draw geometrical forms we create a force which works counter to the situation which draws the ego into the organism. You will see from this that we can indeed educate rightly, when we use the various subjects in the right way.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IV.

Auch alles dasjenige, was im Sprachlichen hinneigt zum Musikalischen, also das Rhythmisch-Rezitative und so weiter, trägt dazu bei, daß das Ich sich in den Organismus in der richtigen Weise hineinsetzt. Die Musik, namentlich in der Weise angewandt, daß wir bei einem etwas zur Schwärmerei neigenden Kinde das Tongedächtnis ausbilden, also vorzugsweise das Erinnern des Musikalischen, wird in außerordentlich wohltätiger Weise bei einem solchen Kind wirken. Das sind die Mittel, mit denen wir arbeiten müssen bei einem Kinde, bei dem wir bemerken, daß das Ich nicht recht hinein will in den Organismus, das leicht schwärmerisch bleiben könnte. Und in dem Augenblicke nun, wo wir merken, daß das Kind zu materiell wird, daß das Ich zu stark abhängig wird von seinem Körper, brauchen wir nur in der Geometrie etwas mehr die sonst mit den Gedanken erfaßten Gebilde äußerlich zeichnen zu lassen. In dem Augenblick, wo wir das Kind die geometrischen Formen zeichnen lassen, schaffen wir wieder ein Gegengewicht gegen das Einsaugen des Ich. Sie sehen, man kann durchaus, wenn man die Unterrichtsgegenstände in der richtigen Weise benutzt, richtig erziehen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":245,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/302a/1920-09-22/p010"}],"english":["GA 302a/1920-09-22/p010"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":245,"en_words":237,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 302a/1920-09-22/p010"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6114,"original_word_count":5832,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"T. van Vliet, Paula Wehrle and Karla Kiniger","identified_edition":null,"book_title":"Meditatively Acquired Knowledge of Man","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/MediMan/19200922p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 302a/1920-09-22/p010"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
