We have a few spots in our neighbourhood where we We have a few spots in our neighbourhood where we like to hang out and build a fire with our friends! One of these places is a lovely riparian wooded area here on campus (new word for today, riparian, things that exist alongside a river) that provides us with a lovely place to play as well as with ample firewood. The children have a grand time, wandering around, gathering up tinder and kindling and fuel for the fire. It’s not always easy to get a fire going with snow on the ground, and sometimes our fires are bigger or smaller, but they always amount to a couple of hours of fun spent outside, tending the fire, cooking new things over it, and just chatting and laughing. This was our first time making tea out there (that silver disc is the top of our kettle). We sometimes roast marshmallows, or, when the moms are feeling particularly ambitious, hot dogs and bannock. But we always have fun! Do you have a place you go to build a fire with your friends? @antonella.f.greco . . . . . . . . . #charlottemasonpoetry #charlottemasonirl #charlottemasonliving #runwildmychild #1000hoursoutside #wildandfreechildren #childhoodunplugged #motherhoodunplugged #Godinnature #livingeducation #fire #firestarting #firekids #survival #thegreatoutdoors #wildandfree #charlottemasoninspired #riparian
“Her ideas about children are, you want to say, “Her ideas about children are, you want to say, from Émile by Rousseau, but she probably never read it,” mused Martin Cothran about Charlotte Mason on the December 4 episode of the Classical Et Cetera podcast by Memoria Press. Well of course Miss Mason read Émile; in fact she quoted it extensively, and often favorably. An often-overlooked article by Mason is “Two Educational Ideals,” originally intended to be part of her final book. In the paper she painstakingly evaluates one idea after another from Émile, because “as long as education remains the concern of most men and women,” she writes, “we shall continue to follow [Rousseau’s] lead; but because there is much dross with the gold, we must discriminate and eliminate.” Cothran also observed an affinity between Mason and the “Romanticists.” But this too is no revelation. It was recognized as early as 1923, the year of Mason’s death, when M. E. Sadler wrote, “Through Ruskin and Thomas Arnold of Rugby, [Mason] was in direct succession from Wordsworth” (In Memoriam, p. 19). In fact, Mason quoted Wordsworth, the inaugurator of Romanticism, more often than any other writer. I listened to both episodes of “Charlotte Mason Explained: A Classical Education Perspective” and I enjoyed them. Admittedly, I didn’t learn anything new about Charlotte Mason. But I was happy to see that even a cursory glance at the Twenty Principles by Classical Educational theorists reveals many of the foundational differences that separate Mason from the classical tradition. Bravo to Classical Et Cetera for its bold conclusion.

Literature, art, and music are three great possess Literature, art, and music are three great possessions we can give our children for life. Not only will they bless them for a lifetime, they will be there during life’s trials. V.M. Hood tells us, “When the clouds of life drift about your children, these three will lead them through the mists to the mountain tops, and there they will find that the sun they had thought obscured is always shining in the Eternal Heavens.” “Reading in the Nursery”, PR28 @rbaburina . . . . . . . #livingbooks #greatliterature #powerofmusic #powerofart #fairytales #charlottemasonliving
Charlotte Mason opens Home Education with a beauti Charlotte Mason opens Home Education with a beautiful section entitled “The Child’s Estate.” There she quotes William Wordsworth declaring, “trailing clouds of glory do we come From God, who is our home: Heaven lies about us in our infancy.” But she omits the latter part of the stanza: “And by the vision splendid Is on his way attended; At length the Man perceives it die away And fade into the light of common day.” In 1918, Mason’s dear friend Francis Lewis cited the whole stanza and asked the poignant question: “If education is the calling out of latent powers, the helping to develop what is already there; why should not ‘the vision splendid’ ‘shine more and more unto the perfect day?’” In this Advent season we invite you to meditate with Rev. Lewis on God’s glory and His role in education. Does heaven lie about us only in our infancy? Or can a glimpse of heaven always be a part of our homes?
