Letter to Jane Senior 1874-02-05 Nightingale replies to Jane Senior, praising her work with pauper children and urging her to proceed carefully, emphasizing rest and health. She critiques large institutional schools for stunting children’s independence and moral development, advocating instead for boarding-out or small family-like arrangements that teach self-reliance, domestic skills, and moral discipline. Nightingale also highlights the importance of practical supervision, sanitary teaching, and gradual expansion of successful small-scale experiments.
