42 Ellen Key-
were they always in harmony with Christian-
ity? Thus she pondered in her mind.
Her mother had planned to have Ellen
teach her youngest sister and a playmate of
the same age. Immediately upon her arrival
home from Stockholm, the fifteen-year-old
girl took up this work, fully conscious of the
responsibility involved. I once heard Ellen
Key tell of the joyful anticipation with which,
while yet in Stockholm, she prepared herself
for this task, thinking with what motherly
tenderness she would care for the little sister
who was six years her jimior. From the other
pupil, Miss Ada Rydstrom, I have the highest
testimony of Ellen's pedagogical power, al-
ready developed at that time. "Ineradicable
impressions were made on the child-mind by
her teachings. We felt great respect for her,
though at the same time we much enjoyed our
lessons." The religious development of this
former pupil later took a different direction
from that of Ellen Key's, yet her opinion of
Ellen's character, her purity and nobility of
mind, remains unchanged. She also speaks
of Ellen's love of nature, of her leisure mo-
ments spent in woods and fields. No one was
allowed to know the solitary places which were
her chosen haunts.
