Abstract/Notes: Dr. Maria Montessori is one of the most recognized women in the world for her work in educating children. Although there are many studies and writings on her work, there is still much to know about his career, especially in the years of the connection with Barcelona and Catalonia. In this paper I intend to provide some new data on the reasons and circumstances of her arrival and her first international course in Barcelona. The Mancomunitat of Catalonia organized around her educational proposal many of the projects to improve that Catalan society at the beginning of the century. Eladi Homs was one of the people in charge of managing these first years. The recovery of his personal correspondence has given birth to hitherto unknown information. Dr. Montessori’s collaboration with Catalan institutions was cut short in 1922 but she recovered much more strongly from 1929 when she returned to live in Barcelona. Knowing better the details and circumstances of her work and influence in Barcelona gives us clues to understand the subsequent evolution of the so-called Catalan pedagogical renewal that is still very much alive today / La doctora Maria Montessori és una de les dones més reconegudes mundialment per la tasca a favor de l’educació dels infants. Tot i que disposem de molts estudis i escrits sobre la seva obra, hi ha encara molt per conèixer sobre la seva trajectòria, especialment en els anys de la vinculació amb Barcelona i Catalunya. En aquest article pretenc aportar algunes dades noves sobre els motius i circumstàncies de la seva arribada i el primer Curs Internacional a Barcelona. Al voltant de la seva proposta educativa, la Mancomunitat va aglutinar molts dels projectes que tenia per millorar aquella societat catalana de principis de segle. Eladi Homs va ser un dels encarregats de gestionar aquests primers anys. La recuperació de la seva correspondència personal ha donat llum a molta informació fins ara desconeguda. La col·laboració de la doctora Montessori amb les institucions catalanes es veu estroncada el 1922, però es recupera amb molta més força a partir del 1929, quan torna a viure a Barcelona. El fet de conèixer més bé els detalls i circumstàncies de la seva obra i influència a Barcelona ens dona pistes per entendre l’evolució posterior de l’anomenada renovació pedagògica catalana, que encara continua ben viva avui. / La doctora María Montessori es una de las mujeres más reconocidas mundialmente por su labor a favor de la educación de los niños.

Abstract/Notes: "San Francisco, Nov 6 - Helen Keller shared honors with the San Francisco Teachers' association at the Panama-Pacific exposition today and received from the hands of officials a bronze medal commemorative of the event. Miss Keller sat between Madame Maria Montessori and her teacher, Mrs. John A. Macy of Boston, and 'heard' the various addresses by placing her finger tips upon the throat and lips of Mrs. Macy. Miss Keller responded to the presentation of the medal in an addressing which she acknowledged the many compliments paid her by the other speakers."

Abstract/Notes: "San Francisco, Cal., June 26 - Under the patronage of Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of President Woodrow Wilson, Dr. Maria Montessori, the noted Italian educator, will conduct an international Montessori training course at the Panama-Pacific International exposition during August, September, October and November. With Miss Wilson on the committee in charge of the course are David Starr Jordan, president of the National Education association, which meets in Oakland in August, and P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education. The special course will be for the benefit of teachers, parents and others interested in child welfare, and in connection with it will be held a number of demonstration schools in which teachers will do practice work. Noted educators from all parts of the United States and from abroad have been asked to conduct a thorough study and test of Dr. Montessori's method of child training during this course. The exposition authorities asked Dr. Montessori to conduct her international training course on the exposition grounds because of the opportunity it will afford to give an international test of this newest and unique method of developing individual initiative in very young children. An essential part of the plan consists in the appointment of an international committee which will give careful and extended stay to the demonstration classes and report at the close of the exposition concerning the actual progress made and the real contribution that the Montessori principles have made to educational advancement. The arrangements for the course are in the hands of Wallace Hatch of Berkeley, Cal., who was formerly acting chief of the department of education of the exposition."
