In this paper an attempt is made to clarify the problem of Pestalozzi's self-confi dence and conviction as educator by examining the meaning of the “ordeal” in his life. First of all the actual event, nature, and meaning of the ordeal in his life are studied by analysing his letter of October 1, 1793, addressed to Nicolovius ; this letter is interpreted as “the confession of a believer in the midst of an ordeal”. Furthermore, by examining the character of Grüphi in the third edition of Lienhard and Gertrud, the peculiar problem of the ordeal of the educator is discussed. Finally, we have tried to show how serious a problem the ordeal is for the educator and how important the meaning of the ordeal is in leading him to real self-confidence and conviction as an educator.
