Abstract/Notes: The article situates Montessori as a public intellectual and movement leader, focusing on her movement's message about the child's liberation, and how this message was received in the British and Italian contexts. The Montessorian concept of liberty was defined in a Spencerian fashion as biological liberty, and linked to ideas about self-discipline through auto-education. To develop real independence, the child needed a room of its own, where the pressures imposed by adults were reduced to a minimum. British sympathizers misinterpreted the message, reframing it as the freedom of choice of classical liberalism, an eclectic view not compatibie with Montessori's ideas about the prepared environment. Italian fascists on the other hand reframed Montessori's critique of adultism as a total dismissal of parental authority, in order to submit the child to totalitarian state authority.

Abstract/Notes: "...Miss Mary Scott told something of the White Cross work, for which Dr. Montessori is training teachers, to care for physically [psychically] wounded children in France and Belgium. Dr. Montessori has been corresponding with M. P. Cook of Boyland, Mrs. F. B. Linn, preisdent of the Collegiate Alumni, and Dr. Ball of the normal school, and the members of these organizations are much interested in the prospect of engaging in White Cross work; and it is quite probable that the distinguished Italian doctor will come to Santa Barbara to establish a training school for teachers in the White Cross field."

Abstract/Notes: This chapter looks at the consolidation of progressive education in Spain during the first third of the twentieth century and aims to unpack the question of its annihilation by the Franco regime during the civil war and the early period of the dictatorship. It starts by showing the consolidation of an active and influential pedagogical vanguard that had clear influence on the education system during the Second Republic. It then traces signs of continuity in this educational movement after the establishment of the Franco regime by classifying this evidence into three categories: utilization, undercurrent adaptation, and resistance. This chapter concludes by looking at the complexity of education during the early Franco regime, highlighting the coexistence of a school culture forged before the civil war with ideas and practices identified with National Catholicism introduced by the dictatorship. By presenting this complexity, this chapter challenges a widely accepted vision concerning the total educational backlash that came in the wake of the establishment of the dictatorship.

Abstract/Notes: The Great Wardrobe has placed on exhibition in its window a large oil painting of "Boyland," near Oak Park, in this city. This picture gives a comprehensive view of the beautiful white school buildings from a height of about 1000 feet, as it would be viewed from a balloon or aeroplane. The inner court, lake, terraces and fountain, the immense map of the world in miniature, 500 feet long and 300 feet wide; Oak Park, the long sweep of mountains, the city and the sea—the picture is an "isometrical perspective" of "Boyland" and its environment. It is framed in "rustic wood," stained in "bog oak" color, and suspended from the upper corners of the frame are clusters of pine cones and oak moss, symbolic of the mountains; while on the lower corners are clusters of sea-weed and shells, symbolic of the great ocean. The painting was made by S. Franklin Yeager, an artist of Santa Barbara, who recently completed large paintings of "Bonnymede," "Mira Vista" and Recreation Center, and who painted an immense picture of Fort Snelling on the upper Mississippi river, near St. Paul, Minn., for the United States government engineers.
