« En 1907, Maria Montessori, l'une des premie`res femmes me´decins d'Italie, ouvre une e´cole d'un nouveau genre au service d'une vision ine´dite de l'enfant, envisage´ comme une personne libre et e´panouie, qui apprend spontane´ment. Sa me´thode ? Une pe´dagogie qui respecte ce qu'est l'enfant, les e´tapes de son de´veloppement, ses exigences, ses besoins. Ce projet d'une e´ducation nouvelle, qui s'inscrit dans la promotion de la paix universelle et du progre`s, repose sur trois piliers : une posture particulie`re de l'e´ducateur, un environnement pre´pare´ et un mate´riel pe´dagogique spe´cifique. Mais bien plus qu'une me´thode, la pe´dagogie Montessori est un e´tat d'esprit, qui ne se limite pas a` une tranche d'a^ge ni a` l'e´cole, et dont les principes sont maintenant confirme´s par des recherches en neurosciences et en psychologie du de´veloppement. » -- Résumé de l'éditeur.

"The general activity outlook is now distinctly in the ascendant. Its democratic regard for personality, its biological psychology (which considerably antedated its German kinsman, the Gestalt psychology), its preference for human personality over subject-matter-set-out-to-be-learned, its success in bringing creative and happy growth to pupils and teachers alike--these and more seem to promise that it will become the accepted general basis for American education. Let the words general basis here be stressed. The activity conception, while based on fairly definite principles, offers no authoritative creed with an orthodoxy to be preached by the elect and accepted by the rest. Not that, and far from it. Instead of a creed and orthodoxy, we have promising principles, principles that must be worked out in varied practice, then criticized, then still further worked out in still varied ways, world without end. The remoter developments we cannot see, nor need we. The immediate task suffices to fill our efforts. It is with this immediate task that Mrs. Mossman's book concerns itself--to give actual guidance and help alike to prospective teachers and to active practitioners as they study the activity concept to see what it means, to catch a deeper vision of how education might go on, to learn how better to follow the vision. Mrs. Mossman's sincere sympathy with childhood, her social vision, her wide knowledge of better practice, her penetrating insight into educational theory--these things equip her to render needed help. It is by the continual efforts of many such guides, as they encourage others to follow the vision, that the world makes progress. It is by such efforts that the idea defines itself ever more adequately. It is a pleasure to share in this way in so worthy a cause"--Introduction.
