Abstract/Notes: Comment, au début du vingtième siècle, la méthode d’éducation des très jeunes enfants, conçue en Italie par la docteure en médecine et pédagogue Maria Montessori, a-t-elle diffusé en France et grâce à qui ? Telle est la question à laquelle nous tentons de répondre. Notre étude identifie d’abord les individus – au premier rang desquels une quinzaine d’éducatrices – qui, en France, avant 1914 et jusqu’au retour de la paix, ont diffusé cette méthode par des écrits, des conférences et surtout des expériences princeps. Puis, elle montre l’arrière-fond culturel et institutionnel et les valeurs (internationalité, engagement féministe et spiritualiste, compétence professionnelle) qui ont conditionné leur action. / How, at the beginning of the twentieth century, did the method of educating very young children conceived in Italy by the physician and educator Maria Montessori spread in France, and thanks to whom? This is the question that our study attempts to answer. It identifies the individuals−including some fifteen educators−who, in France, before 1914 and until the return of peace, disseminated this method through writings, conferences, and, above all, through pioneering experiences. It also shows the cultural and institutional background and the values (internationality, feminist and spiritualist commitment, professional skill) that conditioned their action.

Abstract/Notes: "A cablegram from Dr. Maria Montessori in , received yesterday by Miss Katherine Moore, a teacher in the East Seventh-street school, announces that the noted educator will hold her third international training class in Loa Angeles, beginning May 1. The first two classes were held in Rome in 1912 and 1914. They were attended by people from eight different countries. "Los Angeles receives this honor in preference to New York City, Washington, and other large cities of the country for two reasons," Miss Moore said yesterday. "In the first place, it was in Los Angeles that the Montessori system was first introduced into the public school system. Secondly, the invitations fro this city were especially cordial and appealing." The invitation to Dr. Montessori was signed by [Superintendent J. H. Francis, Los Angeles City Schools], [President J. F. Millspaugh, California State Normal School (Los Angeles)], [President George F. Bovard, University of Southern California], and by the heads of several civic and social organizations. The Montessori class in the East Seventh-street school, the first of its kind established in America, will be used for demonstration work at the institute. This class is taught by Miss Moore, who was a graduate of Dr. Montessori's first international training class. Principal Larkey wrote to Dr. Montessori, placing the class at her disposal."
