Lilias Trotter studied art under John Ruskin and w Lilias Trotter studied art under John Ruskin and was a contemporary of Charlotte Mason. It’s unknown if their paths ever crossed as Lilias left London in 1888 for Northern Africa, remaining there until her death in 1928.

In these four decades, Lilias filled 30 diaries with her breathtaking watercolors and words—all while writing devotionals and leaflets in Arabic. She even formed a relationship of respect with Sufi Mystics, for whom she wrote and illustrated “The Sevenfold Secret” based on the Gospel of John.

If you’d like to learn more about Lilias, see pages from her diaries, read her reflections, or watch a documentary on her fascinating faith-filled life, visit the Lilias Trotter Legacy. Link provided.

In 1917, Maria Montessori’s latest book appeared In 1917, Maria Montessori’s latest book appeared in English. Published in London, it spanned two volumes and included details on many topics, including Montessori’s guidance on the teaching of music and grammar. The publication attracted the attention of Annie Jessy Curwen, commonly known as Mrs. Curwen. This was none other than the innovative music teacher responsible for “The Child Pianist,” a book and method celebrated by Charlotte Mason.

After reading Montessori’s book, Mrs. Curwen felt compelled to write a review. And after reading her review, Charlotte Mason felt compelled to publish it in the Parents’ Review. The subject of how to cultivate the child’s inborn love and understanding of music was too important to leave to chance. Mrs. Curwen wanted to have her say, and Mason wanted to give her the platform.

What affinity did Curwen find between “The Child Pianist” and “The Advanced Montessori Method”? Were they two branches growing from the same tree, or perhaps even different sides of the same branch? Or were they perhaps not so similar after all? There’s only one way to find out. Read or listen to the thought-provoking and at times amusing account of one philosophy of education by the architect of another. Find it at the profile link.

“I am convinced … that there is a North-west P “I am convinced … that there is a North-west Passage to the intellectual world; and that the soul of man has shorter ways of going to work, in furnishing itself with knowledge and instruction, than we generally take with it … there is a North-west Passage, and Charlotte Mason has found it for us.”

— H. W. Household, PR35, p. 92

“In the deep of winter, Herman looked at a barre “In the deep of winter, Herman looked at a barren tree, stripped of leaves and fruit, waiting silently and patiently for the sure hope of summer abundance. Gazing at the tree, Herman grasped for the first time the extravagance of God’s grace and the unfailing sovereignty of divine providence. Like the tree, he himself was seemingly dead, but God had life waiting for him, and the turn of seasons would bring fullness. At that moment, he said, that leafless tree ‘first flashed in upon my soul the fact of God,’ and a love for God that never after ceased to burn.”

That burning love prompted Herman to join the Discalced Carmelite monastery in Paris where he forever became known as Brother Lawrence.

“Men invent means and methods of coming at God’s love,” he wrote; “they learn rules and set up devices to remind them of that love, and it seems like a world of trouble to bring oneself into the consciousness of God’s presence. Yet it might be so simple. Is it not quicker and easier just to do our common business wholly for the love of him?”

Perhaps it was simple for him. But is it simple for us? Perhaps the key lies in the words of his second conversation in “The Practice of the Presence of God”: “We ought to make a great difference between the acts of the understanding and those of the will; that the first were comparatively of little value, and the others all.”

Those words found their way into a poem by Charlotte Mason. And they find a home deep in the heart of her method. Do you believe in with your understanding, or do you believe with your will? For Brother Lawrence, it made all the difference in the world. And it did for Charlotte Mason too. Read or hear her poem at the profile link.
