Preamble
Georges Hébert's biography could be a true novel: how the eruption of a volcano would reveal a vocation. Newton did not invent gravity when he saw an apple fall. Gravity pre-existed, he only revealed it and wrote the law that governs it. Similarly, Georges Hébert, did not "invent" or create ex nihilo a method of education. Through observation, reflection, experience and study, following the path traced by great educators such as Amoros (1770-1848), drawing inspiration from the works of contemporaries such as Georges Demenÿ or Pierre de Coubertin who would become supporters of his action, he built an authentically original work. Thus was born what Georges Hébert called the "Natural Method". "Method"… because it is the result of reflections and observations. "Natural"… because respectful of the laws of nature. His whole life has been devoted to it, discover it in the following pages…
