Both doctor and teacher labor on one and the same field-that of the child's organism. It is impossible to separate with any precision what in this organism belongs to the teacher and what to the doctor, because their activities have too many points of contact. As a result, both teacher and doctor must, for the benefit of the child's organism, act in unison and collaboration, checking between them the observations that the other has collected, without pretension automatically to issue instructions, but with a sincere desire to learn from one another. Only under such conditions can pedagogy be developed with the success that it strives for and deserves.
