Abstract/Notes: Union photographs taken in the Montessori Woodland School Room at the Exposition– Above: The pupils marching and carrying must-not-be-spilled glasses of colored water, and (right) Daphne Frazier, 4 1/2 years old, reading from "The Life of William McKinley." Below: A group of the youngsters at their "work" at an outdoor bench under the trees. In a remote and quiet corner of Exposition park, in a pretty irregular clearing in a dense grove of eucalyptus trees, with leaves as their only window curtains and under a ceiling of deep, unpainted blue, a band of 25 San Diego youngsters—from 2 1/2 to 6 years old—play five days every week at the fascinating, fanciful game of self-education. Almost in the midst of tremendous activities, but as thoroughly removed from all distracting influences as though they were, as they seem, in the heart of a wide, dense forest, the 25 young pupils play at work or work at play for six hours a day under the Montessori system of child education. The unwalled, unroofed school room is almost a magical place. It is situated at the end of a pretty, winding path that vanishes there. Few grownups ever find it and when they do they are much surprised. It is nearly a fairland [fairyland?]. Nap Time for School Perhaps the best time of day for a visit to the outdoor school is around 1 o'clock. At that time, if one does not know the place and its surroundings, it will appear as if by witchery, and everything will be silent except the birds in the trees. For that is the time when the school "rests" or "takes its nap." On their work tables and benches, for an hour in the middle of their school day, every pupil rests noiselessly, whether asleep or not, for a solid hour. That is an important part of the curriculum and is strictly observed. When the visitor happens along at that time, true a curly and sleepless head or two will raise ever so slightly and peer about, but there is never a sound until a little gong is rung at the end of the rest hour. The Montessori school has been in session for a month at the Exposition, under the auspices of the San Diego Montessori Educational Association. It was started there as an experiment and so far has proven a satisfactory experiment. ... Three Instructors She [Miss Daphne Frazier, aged 4 1/2] studied, under the Montessori system, with her mother before joining the Exposition class. Now she reads from such difficult works at "The Life of William McKinley" with little faltering. There are three older persons in charge of the Exposition school. Mrs. Prudence Brown is in charge; Mrs. Emma Ashburn assists; and Miss Frances Curnow plays the violin for the physical exercises. The two instructors studied under Mme. Montessori when she was here in 1915. Thirty pupils can be nicely handled by an instructor and one assistant, says Mrs. Brown. When things are well started that is the way it will be.
