Charlotte Mason quoted Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi Charlotte Mason quoted Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746–1827) on page 2 of her first edition of Home Education in 1886: “‘The mother is qualified,’ says Pestalozzi, ‘and qualified by the Creator Himself, to become the principal agent in the development of her child… Maternal love is the first agent in education.’” Pestalozzi influenced F. D. Maurice, whom Mason also quoted in Home Education: “the woman receives from the Spirit of God Himself the intuitions into the child’s character, the capacity of appreciating its strength and its weakness, the faculty of calling forth the one and sustaining the other, in which lies the mystery of education, apart from which all its rules and measures are utterly vain and ineffectual.” Who was this man who helped awaken Christendom to the special role of mothers in education? What else did he believe about education? How did his ideas help pave the way for Charlotte Mason’s work? The PNEU provided answers to these questions. These two articles, from 1927 and 1966, show the continuing high regard paid by Mason’s followers to the Swiss educational reformer. Today we share both with you. As you read or listen, see how many seeds you can find that ultimately bore fruit in Charlotte Mason’s philosophy, and share them in the comments below.

Jesus sent out the disciples in pairs to preach an Jesus sent out the disciples in pairs to preach and to heal. The Gospel of Luke simply records that “they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.” Healing people everywhere? Meaning that the disciples performed miracles? What might it have been like to be an observer — or to be a disciple — when a miracle was performed by a lonely pair? Henry Ossawa Tanner imagined it with his art; Charlotte Mason imagined it with her poem. Read or hear Mason’s vivid sketch of a wondrous healing, and let the Scriptures come alive.

Any fellow Elizabeth Goudge fans? I just spied “The Rosemary Tree” on a friend’s shelf and have never read it. It takes place in the Devonshire countryside—a place I’ve longed to visit. Elizabeth lived and wrote in Devon so I think she’ll be the perfect guide. @rbaburina . . . . . #songofseasons #livingbooks #livingeducation #livingbook #elizabethgoudge #therosemarytree #booksandthings #booksandflorals #booksandflowers #summerread #beachread #summerreading #cornersofmyworld #thebeautyyouseek #homeschoolmum #motherculture #hyggehomeschool #hyggehomeschooler #cottagecore #wildandfreemama #charlottemasoninspired #booklover #devonshire #weekendreading #wirn #homeschoolhighschool #goodreads #booknook #bookishlife #bookishaesthetic
Most of the objections I hear to Charlotte Mason’s model of habit fall into two categories. On the one hand, some people appeal to the authority of science, and say that Mason’s understanding of neurobiology has been proven wrong. On the other hand, some people appeal to the authority of revelation, and say that Mason’s view of habit undermines the role of the Holy Spirit. What I find so ironic about this is that there has never been a better time to believe what Charlotte Mason says about habit. When she wrote Home Education in 1886, inspired by William Carpenter’s Principles of Mental Physiology, she was way ahead of her time. She was so far on the cutting edge of science that even she had room to doubt herself. And the challenge of reconciling science and faith was a challenge she tackled largely on her own. When Mason quoted Dr. Carpenter as saying, “The cerebrum of man grows to the modes of thought in which it is habitually exercised,” neither she nor he had any idea about neural networks. When she wrote, “new brain tissue is being constantly formed at a startlingly rapid rate,” she had no idea that the phenomenon of neurogenesis would one day be confirmed. Science has come around to validate what Mason wrote. As for a theological challenge to the role of habit in sanctification, remarks like the following from celebrated theologian N. T. Wright are becoming commonplace: “As with the ‘putting off,’ so the ‘putting on’ is a matter of consciously deciding, again and again, to do certain things in certain ways, to create patterns of memory and imagination deep within the psyche and, as we saw from contemporary neuroscience, deep within the actual physical structure of our mysterious brain. Gradually, bit by bit, the ‘putting on’ of these qualities—qualities that seem for the moment so artificial, so unnatural, so ‘unlike me’—will in fact transform the character at its deepest level.” When leading scientists and theologians sound like they just finished reading Home Education, it confirms for me that there has never been a better time to follow the Charlotte Mason method. It aligns with the ways of God. It aligns with the way things are. @artmiddlekauff
