Karl Heinrich Gottfried Witte, a German pastor of the 19th century, worked out an intense program of learning and became the author of the book about educating his child. “The Education of Karl Witte or The Training of The Child” attracted criticism and soon fell into oblivion in Germany. However, the Chinese became very interested in this work at beginning of the 21st century. Witte was absolutely sure, that a child education should begin yet in early childhood, between birth and the age of 6. The author relates his teaching of the son to read and write when he was a few months old, thus by the age of 6 the boy could read and write German and Latin. At 10 he was already a student of Leipzig University, being able to speak several foreign languages. Karl Witte the junior got his Doctorate of philosophy degree at age of 12.
