Abstract/Notes: The growing awareness of the need to re-evaluate present educational standards has brought about the revival of an interest in the educational approach of Maria Montessori. In a society where the individual's contribution counts heavily, less and less people are able to participate effectively. Developments in technology are putting a new premium on the ability to solve problems in linguistic and mathematical terms.

Abstract/Notes: The twentieth century was a time of great change in early years education. As the century opened, the use of Froebel's kindergarten methods infiltrated more infant classrooms. The emergence of psychology as a discipline, and especially its work on child development, was beginning to influence thinking about how infants learn through play. While there were many teachers who maintained Victorian approaches in their classrooms, some others experimented, were widely read and a few even travelled to the US and Europe and brought new ideas home. As well, there was increasing political support for new approaches to the "new education" ideas at the turn of the century. All was not plain sailing, however, and this book charts both the progress made and the obstacles overcome in the course of the century, as the nation battled its way through world wars and depressions. It's an interesting story as the author discusses changes in school buildings, teaching practice and teacher education, the teaching of reading and other curriculum areas, Maori education and the emergence of kohanga reo and the teaching of Maori language in primary schools. Along the way we meet a range of individuals, including C.E. Beeby, Sylvia Ashton-Warner, Gwen Somerset, Don Holdaway, Elwyn Richardson, Marie Bell and Marie Clay and the many less well-known but significant people who worked in or influenced early years education. We also meet many well-known New Zealanders who have recounted their first days at school. This is a fascinating account of a rich history that has involved us all. And yes, school milk gets a mention.

Abstract/Notes: "SUMMER SCHOOL AT SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION. A vast pilgrimage of students, teachers and educational experts will invade the San Diego Exposition for attendance at the exposition’s summer hcbool to be held from July 5 to August 13. This promises to be without equal in the history of the progress of education, for the faculty will include some of the most remarkable authorities on education. Standing high in this list is Dr. Maria Montessori of Rome, founder of the famed system of teaching of this name. Dr. Montessori will assume direct charge of the Montessori Institute to be established during the session. Among the courses will be history and geography of South America, Spanish grammar and literature, modern history and the peace movement, modern literature, culture history, American archaeology, anthropology, vocational education and direction, mental and physical testing with laboratory work, elementary manual training and primitive arts with demonstrations by Indian workers, and agriculture with demonstrations. There will be special lectures on peace and conciliation, modern education, human welfaré and arts and science. To popularize the summer school the exposition directors have fixed the unusually low fee of $7.50 for the term, which will include admission to the exposition. Among the educators who will be in the faculty are Dr. J.C. Thompson, surgeon of the United States navy; Dr. Edgar L. Hewett, director of the School of American Archaeology; Percy Alvin Martin, Ph.D., assistant professor of history, Stanford University; Dean W.F. Bliss of the State Normal School, San Diego; Mariam E. Besley, William T. Skilling, and Maria Goddard, in addition to special lecturers. The remarkable ethnological exhibit by the Smithsonian Institution the ancient and modern Indian display, the commercial representation and the quite unprecedented agricultural and horticultural displays crowning the work in architecture equip the San Diego Exposition with extraordinary facilities for study. Practically all, moreover, is permanent, this being almost unique in world’s fair achievement."
