Pestalozzi, Johann Heinrich, 1746-1827
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Heinrich_Pestalozzi

He founded several educational institutions both in German- and French-speaking regions of Switzerland and wrote many works explaining his revolutionary modern principles of education. His motto was "Learning by head, hand and heart". Thanks to Pestalozzi, illiteracy in 18th-century Switzerland was overcome almost completely by 1830.

Several books are available in public domain.

I don't know what the etiquette is for commenting on suggestions from years past... But I'd be interested in reading for a Pestalozzi project!
