A famous British educationist noted that two creat A famous British educationist noted that two creative thinkers in the educational tradition of the West have been particularly prominent: Plato and Rousseau. And he noted that these two are typically set in strong opposition. This fact can lead readers of Charlotte Mason to be perplexed when she cites both thinkers in her volumes and papers. How can she draw from two contradictory traditions? Well, this same British educationist also insisted that “neither Plato nor Rousseau is as one-sided as so sharp an antithesis would suggest,” and “if we take the thought of each as a whole and extract as well as we can the central meaning, it is the identities rather than the differences which strike us.” Perhaps these “identities” explain how Mason can draw from two otherwise opposing traditions. The educationist was named Sir Fred Clarke, and his work caught the eye of Elsie Kitching, editor of The Parents’ Review for 27 years after Mason’s death. But even Clarke acknowledged that “in the last resort there *is* a fundamental difference between Plato and Rousseau.” And he solemnly explained that where “Plato and Rousseau part company,” we must choose one to follow. Which one did Clarke choose? Find out in this classic article hand-picked by Elsie Kitching in 1936 and published in The Parents’ Review.

“Wherever in this human existence there are men “Wherever in this human existence there are men and women there will be love, and so long as love finds expression in human passion there will be continuity of this human race, and eternal spring for ever blossoming on the old earth. And for this let us be thankful, thankful that there will always be babies to bring joy and gladness into hearts and lives that need their presence, and have made a fit welcome for their reception.” (Edith Escombe, “Of Babies”, PR16, p. 279) @tessakeath 📷: @aolander
In the Gospel of John, we read that Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He.” The Greek word for “lift up” (ὑψόω) also means “exalt.” What is Jesus referring to in this saying? Charlotte Mason provides an interpretation in her poem about the day that Jesus pleaded “in passionate urgency with the men He had come to save.” Read or hear it at the profile link. @artmiddlekauff . . . . . . . . . #saviouroftheworld #gospelofjohn #charlottemasonliving #charlottemasonpodcast #charlottemason #charlottemasonpoetry
How do you spot another Charlotte Mason educator? How do you spot another Charlotte Mason educator? A House of Education graduate had a suggestion published in the April 1904 issue of L’Umile Pianta: “As it is almost impossible for most if not all of us ex-students to wear the [HOE] College Colours, as either a tie or a hatband, will ex-students all agree to wearing a small rosette or bow of the green and brown, as it would quickly catch an ex-student’s eye, without being otherwise conspicuous.” What would be the benefit of this code of accessories? “…it is delightful to find an ‘Amblesidian’ within visiting distance, which is sometimes the case, but it’s often not quickly discovered. For instance, I see in our Magazine the address of a student who has just begun work within easy walking distance of my own post.” So, how about your neighbor down the street or the woman at the park with her children? Perhaps they homeschool and use the CM method. Maybe we should try wearing a small rosette or bow of green and brown. Perhaps someone will notice and we’ll find a new friend for life. @rbaburina
