E-text prepared by Robert Cicconetti, Sue Fleming, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from page images generously made available by Internet Archive/American Libraries (https://archive.org/details/americana) "The Hive" by Will Levington Comfort is a philosophical and educational treatise written in the early 20th century. The work explores themes of child development, spirituality, and the quest for a new social order termed the "New Race." It delves into the importance of nurturing the imagination and spirit of children, while also hinting at the roles of parents and educators in shaping the future generation. The opening of "The Hive" introduces the author's vision of a transformative approach to education and parenting, emphasizing the need for adults to evolve alongside children. Comfort shares anecdotes and reflections about children and their unique perceptive abilities, particularly before the age of seven, when they connect readily with the unseen world. He asserts that the old models of authority and interaction often cause misunderstandings and stifle creativity. Instead, he proposes a gentle nurturing of the child's imagination, which he believes is critical for the development of a harmonious and enlightened future society.
