Abstract/Notes: "Miss Helen Parkhurst, director of the department for the training of primary teachers of the Stevens Point Normal school, will leave Friday for California, where she will assist Dr. Maria Montessori of Rome, Italy, the world famous educator, in her summer series of lectures and demonstrations. Doctor Montessori will be at Los Angeles during the month of June, at San Diego in July and at San Francisco in August. Miss Parkhurst will work with her at all three cities. Dr. Montessori comes to this country in response to an invitation extended her by leading educational institutions and organizations in the nation, including Columbia University, New York City, and Leland Stanford University and the University of California in California. In this way it will be possible to train the maximum number of teachers in her methods of child instruction. Miss Parkhurst is a graduate of Dr. Montessori's school in Rome, where she spent five months last summer, and has successfully applied the Montessori system in her Normal school work. The invitations to assist Dr. Montessori is a signal honor to Miss Parkhurst, and one that giver her added prestigs in the profession she has chosen to follow. A young lady from New York City, a graduate of the Montessori school in Rome, will continue Miss Parkhurst's Montessori class at the Normal during June and July, so that thos who planned to take up the work will not be disappointed. Miss Mildred Tarrant of Durand, a member of the Normal graduating class, will go to California to receive instructions from Dr. Montessori."

Abstract/Notes: Проблема повышения уровня преподавания в сфере общего и профессионального образования является одной из наиболее значимых в современной педагогике. В связи с этим современные дидакты внимательно изучают наследие своих выдающихся предшественников, – педагогов прошлого. К числу таких ученых, оставивших неповторимый след в педагогической науке и практике, относится американская учительница Хелен Паркхерст (1886-1973). Статья написана в связи с 135-летием со дня рождения Х. Паркхерст.Американская учительница-новатор Хелен Паркхерст, наряду с Марией Монтессори, нарушила монополию мужчин на право считаться крупным ученым в области педагогики. Ее педагогическая деятельность включала в себя стремление к постоянному профессиональному самосовершенствованию, поиску новых путей в решении встававших перед ней педагогических проблем. Ее главным методическим достижением стала разработка Дальтон-плана, в соответствии с которым она успешно перестроила работу в одной из американских школ. Методическая новация Паркхерст получила одобрение со стороны вначале педагогов США, а затем повсюду в мире. В СССР в 1920-1930-х гг. этот метод также активно использовался, правда, без особого успеха. Применение Дальтон-плана в советской школе нашло отражение в ряде произведений художественной литературы (М. Г. Розанов, Н. И. Кочин). Методические идеи Хелен Паркхерст в наши дни крайне востребованы и активно используются в современной образовательной практике многих стран мира, в том числе в России. В то же время их позитивный потенциал еще не вполне изучен и освоен, поэтому наследие Х. Паркхерст заслуживает дальнейшего внимательного исследования дидактами и историками педагогики. / The problem of raising the level of teaching in the field of general and vocational education is one of the most significant in modern pedagogy. In this regard, modern didactic students are carefully studying the legacy of their outstanding predecessors, teachers of the past. The American teacher Helen Parkhurst (1886-1973) is one of these scientists who left an inimitable mark on pedagogical science and practice. The article was written in connection with the 135th anniversary of the birth of H. Parkhurst. The American teacher-innovator Helen Parkhurst, along with Maria Montessori, violated the monopoly of men on the right to be considered a major scientist in the field of pedagogy. Her pedagogical activity included the desire for constant professional self-improvement, the search for new ways in solving the pedagogical problems that confronted her. Her main methodological achievement was the development of the Dalton Plan, according to which she successfully restructured work in one of the American schools. The methodical innovation of Parkhurst was approved first by educators in the United States, and then all over the world. In the USSR in the 1920-1930s. this method was also actively used, however, without much success. The use of the Dalton plan in the Soviet school was reflected in a number of works of fiction (M. G. Rozanov, N. I. Kochin). The methodological ideas of Helen Parkhurst are extremely in demand these days and are actively used in modern educational practice in many countries of the world, including Russia. At the same time, their positive potential has not yet been fully explored and mastered, so the legacy of Helen Parkhurst deserves further careful study by didactics and historians of pedagogy.
