Miss Mason tells us that our sense of beauty comes Miss Mason tells us that our sense of beauty comes from early contact with nature and that certain feelings are linked with the observation of nature and natural objects. Perhaps this is why my children and I find Japanese paper marbling—called Suminagashi—so beautiful. In this art from as early as the 12th century, ink is floated on water in repeated patterns and then gently disturbed—resulting in organic forms that resemble the rings of a tree, a topographical map, or fractal patterns found in nature. The floating design is then captured on paper to create a unique work of art traditionally used as a background for poetry and calligraphy. Nature as the instructor of beauty connects us no matter our culture or age in which we live. Have you found this to be true? Tell us which art & handicrafts you’ve got lined up for the new school year!

Imagine the scene. The year is c. 1950, and you ar Imagine the scene. The year is c. 1950, and you are entering the Charlotte Mason College (formerly the House of Education) for the very first time. You are welcomed by none other than Agnes Drury, who proceeds to show you an art print of the famous fresco series of Florence, the “Vaulted Book.” What do you do next? Of course you do what E. M. Gregson did in her case: you start reading Mason’s volumes. Gregson’s impression of the books sounds eerily similar to what we hear today: “The language and allusions were perhaps sometimes out-of-date but the thought was there, and anyone who wants the thought will make the jump from one era to another.” Gregson wanted the thought — so she made the jump. In 1955, Gregson described her experience discovering Mason’s ideas and reading her books. Her reading gave birth to deep appreciation. A career educator, she exclaimed, “How such a content of education would meet the need of schools I had been in!” Did she describe it as a long-awaited revival of classical methods? No, she said, “I wish many students would go to secondary modern schools where there is the scope and the desire for all this.” Rediscover the volumes from the perspective of a thinker from the middle of the last century, and join her in asking “the Master Musician in to help us to play,” and finding “a harmony that was not there before.” Link in profile. @artmiddlekauff
“From the parent’s point of view, in teaching “From the parent’s point of view, in teaching one’s own children there is much to be gained—more time spent in company with the children, an extraordinarily interesting occupation, a widening of one’s own intellectual outlook as one is kept in constant contact with all the best thought of all time, and in short, a thoroughly happy existence.” (Brown, The Parents’ Review, Vol. 41, p. 291) @tessakeath
In the third edition of Home Education (1904), Cha In the third edition of Home Education (1904), Charlotte Mason included an appendix of utmost importance. It contained the text of three sermons by Eugène Bersier, translated from the French by Mason’s own hand. Did these sermons cover intricacies about the nature of the person, the importance of knowledge, or the role of ideas? No, the sermons covered something even more intrinsic to the philosophy of education. The sermons covered the nature of Christ. “Whether Christianity is a gift of God made to humanity,” was the question Bersier addressed, “or is only the supreme effort of the human conscience.” He (and Mason) were reacting to a concerted effort by some to overthrow the foundational assertions of historic Christianity. “Instead of seeing in Jesus Christ, with the whole Church, divinity revealing itself in a man,” these forces “demand that we see in Him humanity made divine.” Bersier then proceeded to argue for the divinity of Christ, not from the historical documents of the church, the writings of Paul, or even the Gospel of the beloved disciple. He argued solely on the basis of “the Christ of Matthew, of Mark, of Luke,” and there he found “a Being who, from the first, acts and speaks as a king.” Mason embraced and endorsed Bersier’s view. Six years after the third edition of Home Education, she came face-to-face with “the Christ of Matthew.” She saw what Bersier saw. Not a man, but a King. A King who said, “I and the Father are one.” Behold the glory of the Christ of Matthew in today’s poem by Charlotte Mason. It answers the question which is always the first and last of any philosophy of education. Link in profile. @artmiddlekauff
