Abstract/Notes: Objectives. To evaluate trends in rates of personal belief exemptions (PBEs) to immunization requirements for private kindergartens in California that practice alternative educational methods. Methods. We used California Department of Public Health data on kindergarten PBE rates from 2000 to 2014 to compare annual average increases in PBE rates between schools. Results. Alternative schools had an average PBE rate of 8.7%, compared with 2.1% among public schools. Waldorf schools had the highest average PBE rate of 45.1%, which was 19 times higher than in public schools (incidence rate ratio = 19.1; 95% confidence interval = 16.4, 22.2). Montessori and holistic schools had the highest average annual increases in PBE rates, slightly higher than Waldorf schools (Montessori: 8.8%; holistic: 7.1%; Waldorf: 3.6%). Conclusions. Waldorf schools had exceptionally high average PBE rates, and Montessori and holistic schools had higher annual increases in PBE rates. Children in these schools may be at higher risk for spreading vaccine-preventable diseases if trends are not reversed.

Abstract/Notes: "Dr. Maria Montessori Here. Teacher of "Sense System" to Instruct in California. Dr. Maria Montessori, exponent of the "sense system" of teaching, arrived yesterday with her cousin, Mario Montesano, on board the Italian steamship Duca degli Abruzzi, from Naples, and was met at the pier by American exponents of her method, Miss Anne E. George of Washington, Miss Clara Craig of Providence, Miss Adelia Pyle of Manhattan, and Miss Grace Parsons of Brooklyn. She will spend four months in America, mostly in California, where she is going at the request of the California Board of Education to instruct a class of teachers. Dr. Montessori said that, contrary to the general impression, the war had stimulated in Italy a desire for education. She did not believe in war, but she was glad it had some redeeming feature. Mrs. Catalina Basusus, whose husband was Mexican Ambassador to the United States under Diaz, also was a passenger by the Duca degli Abruzzi. She met Diaz at his villa in the lower Pyrnees. He was in fine health and said he would never return to Mexico or visit the United States."

Abstract/Notes: "...The last day we saw the most interesting things of all. One was an institution which is the only one of its kind in the world. It is called Boyland, and is being built by a wealthy man who has original ideas about educating boys. One thing he is making is a map of the world right outdoors. In a circle a quarter of a mile around they are building the continents and islands of the world. North and South America and many islands are completed and they are working on the other continents. When the land is finished, the water for oceans, lakes and rivers will be turned on and fas jets lighted to represent volcanos. It is perfectly wonderful. They are building a beautiful, large house of Moorish architecture which will contain dormitories, dining rooms, class rooms, and all under one root. And all is so high that a beautiful view of city, hills and ocean is spread out before you..."
