Excerpt from The Montessori System Examined
The aim of this monograph is probably sufficiently indicated by the title. The purpose is to examine generally the educational doctrines promulgated by Dr. Maria Montessori, so as, first, to bring out their relation to one another and to other similar doctrines elsewhere held; and, second, to ascertain, as far as the author may, the contribution which Dr. Montessori has to offer to American education.
My indebtedness, especially in proportion to the volume of matter, is great. To my colleagues on an investigating trip to Rome, Miss Annie E. Moore and Professor M. B. Hillegas, I am indebted for very considerable assistance in the ordering of ideas and in reaching definite conclusions. My best thanks are due to the same two colleagues and to Professors John Dewey and Naomi Norsworthy for reading the manuscript and for making valuable suggestions. It would be unfair, however, to hold any one save the author responsible for the opinions herein expressed.

Vendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the educational theories of a renowned physician and educator, exploring their historical roots in the work of figures like Rousseau, Pestalozzi, and Froebel. The author examines key concepts such as education as development, the role of liberty in learning, and the idea of auto-education, where children learn through self-directed activity and correction. The book analyzes the specific methods and tools used in the educator's approach, including the didactic apparatus and exercises for practical life. It questions the adequacy of these methods in fostering self-expression and social cooperation, comparing them to contemporary practices in kindergartens and primary schools. This critical examination raises important questions about the balance between freedom and structure in early childhood education, and the most effective ways to cultivate self-reliance, social responsibility, and a love of learning. Ultimately, the book invites educators and parents to consider how these insights can inform and enrich the learning experiences of young children.
