Charlotte Mason’s PNEU continued to send out programmes of study for decades after Charlotte Mason’s death in 1923. Families and schools using these programmes were supported by the Parents’ Review, which was later renamed the PNEU Journal. Articles in the journal shared wisdom and insight about how to apply the Charlotte Mason method.

An intriguing article from 1972 was written by a homeschool parent to explain how he handled “the mechanics of ensuring that the term’s syllabus is completed smoothly in the time available.” His candid and practical article is extremely relatable, written as it was at the midpoint between Charlotte Mason’s era and our own.

If you’ve ever wrestled with how to “fit it all in,” trying to reconcile page counts and time tables, then this article is for you. Or if you want to see how a Charlotte Mason educator approached homeschooling fifty years ago, be sure to check this out. It’s the next in our series of vintage articles from the PNEU Journal.
