Abstract/Notes: "New York, Apr 19 - La Dottoressa Maria Montessori e giunta off a bordo del piroscafo "Duca degli Abruzzi". La illustre pedagogista rimarra in America quattro mesi. Ella e accompagnata dal cugino Mario Montessori. Quanto prima partira per la California, ove e state chiamata da quel Consiglio dell'Istruzione a tenere un corso di pedagogia e didattica per le maestre delle scuole elementari. La Dottoressa Montessori e stata l'iniziatrice di un nuovo metodo pedagogico, il quale si differenzia dai metodi comunemente seguiti nelle scuole, perché lascia un'assoluta liberta all'iniziativa individuale del fanciullo, cercando coltivare questa senza forzare o mutarne, o comprimerne il libero sviluppo il fanciullo apprende non per la imposizione dell'insegnante, ma perché vuole apprendere, perché l'insegnamento e parte del gioco, della sua libera e spontanea attività. Scuole che seguono il metodo Montessori vi sono in Italia e in altri paesi dell'Europe. Da poco tempo ne sono sorte in America ed hanno avuto ed hanno grandi risultati pratici.

Abstract/Notes: World-Famous Teacher Will Be Met Here May 1 by Prominent Educators To be used by Dr. Maria Montessori in demonstrating her world-famous system of teaching, is an honor soon to befall a class of little Los Angeles children. They are too young now to understand the significance of it, but, in years to come, they will no doubt recall with pride that they were the first youngsters, outside Rome, to learn from the hands and lips of the great Italian "Dottoressa," as her friends and admirers lovingly call the inventor of the Montessori system. Miss Catherine Moore, who is conducting the arrangements for Dr. Montessori's coming May 1, is receiving letters and telegrams from prominent educators all over the country. Many of them are coming. OFFERS COOPERATION. Mrs. Alexander Graham Bell, president of the Montessori Educational Association of Washington, D. C., has just written congratulating Los Angeles and offering co-operation. The association includes Philander P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education; Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson and many other members of Washington official circles. San Francisco wants the "Dottoressa," and so does San Diego. "President [Superintendent J.H.] Francis, by his early recognition and understanding of her system, is to be credited for the coming of Dr. Montessori to Los Angeles first of any city outside of Italy," said Miss Moore. "The whole country is now interested." Classes will be held at the East Seventh street school, Saint Catherine's nonsectarian school and the Hotel Maryland, Pasadena. The children of Miss Moore's class at Saint Catherine's will be used for demonstrations every Saturday during the course. ADDRESS BY LETTER. Swarms of callers, anxious to learn more of Dr. Montessori, have made it difficult for Miss Moore to carry on her public school work, and she has been forced to ask every one to address her by letter at the East Seventh street school. Miss Moore, who has long been a Montessori enthusiast, learned Italian in the Dante Alighieri night school in this city and later went to Rome, where she studied with the "Dottoressa," who, contrary to popular belief, is not an aged woman, for Montessori recently celebrated her forty-fourth birthday. TO VISIT San Diego. Dr. Montessori has accepted the invitation of the officials of the San Diego exposition to visit the exposition in July, according to Dr. Mary Paul-Jordon of 456 North Juanita street. Officials of the exposition received a cablegram from Dr. Montessori, who is still in Rome, late yesterday. This information was received by Dr. Jordon in a telegram from Duncan MacKinnon, superintendent of schools of the Southern city [San Diego], last night.
