Abstract/Notes: Tiziana Pironi and Manuela Gallerani begin the Special Issue with introductions to the articles that follow. Pironi considers the relationship between nature and culture in the Montessori approach that developed between the 19th and 20th centuries. She highlights how it distanced itself from positivistic determinism, and analyzes the innovative results of Montessori theory and practice in schools, which have significantly impacted today’s approaches in the educational and neuroscientific fields. Gallerani notes how Maria Montessori’s work was met with a good deal of resistance and criticism during the post-WWI and post-WWII years from Italian academics who tended to interpret her innovative educational concept rather simplistically, like a mere teaching system endowed with a certain degree of effectiveness. However, the criticism did not prevent the spread of the Montessori approach in many other countries, where it was appreciated and leveraged for its effectiveness and modernity. As a matter of fact, its key principles can still be found today, revised and applied in such new methods as Universal Design for Learning and Embodied Education.

Abstract/Notes: "Dr. Maria Montessori, who was here about two years ago lecturing and demonstrating her methods, arrived here yesterday from Naples on the Italian liner Duca degli Abruzzi. She is going to California. Mrs. Montessori said that her second visit to this country was brought about by an invitation from the State Board of Education of California and that on her arrival in San Francisco she would immediately begin instruction for a special class of teachers. The educator was accompanied by her cousin, Mario Montesano, seventeen years old, who has been a student of her method. Mme. Montessori was met at the pier by Miss Grace Parsons, of Brooklyn; Miss Anne George, of Washington; Miss Clara Craig, or Providence; and Miss Adelina Pyle, of this city."

Abstract/Notes: "...The opening event was the luncheon on September 14, at the Inside Inn, the great hotel inside the exposition gates. The immense dining room was jammed with 1,000 women, and many more would have come had there been possible space. San Francisco women flocked by the score in honor of the visiting delegates, whether keenly interested in the convention or not. Mrs. Fremont Older, wife of the editor of one of San Francisco's newspapers, was the toastmistress. Mrs. Belmont made the opening speech, sounding the keynote of the convention unmistakably clear. Other among the speakers were Dr. Yami Kim, of China; Mme. Maria Montessori, of Italy, and Mabel Taliaferro."
