In 1925 Edward Bolton found himself headmaster of In 1925 Edward Bolton found himself headmaster of a small rural school. He was dissatisfied with how the children were being taught, and he knew they were capable of something more. A lecture about Charlotte Mason sparked his interest, and soon he was reading her books.

In 1927 he adopted the PNEU programmes and noticed a difference in the students after only one year. He became an advocate of the Mason method, sharing about the results in the 1928 Parents’ Review. Read or hear his inspiring report at the profile link.

The year was 1914. Charlotte Mason was wrapping up The year was 1914. Charlotte Mason was wrapping up her sixth volume of poetry. She was anticipating writing two more volumes, so that the entire Gospel History would be expressed in verse. However, something else momentous happened in 1914. A school in a poor mining district began using Charlotte Mason’s method.

From that point on, Charlotte Mason would focus on her Liberal Education for All Movement. No more poems in her epic series were ever published. In the last few years of her life, with school after school adopting her method, Mason thought she had a chance at changing the world.

It is fitting (or should we say, providential) that her final published poem ended the series on a profound note of grace. “Divine Forgiveness” is the word Mason left with us in print. This final poem we share in text and audio today.

But although this was her last published poem, we discovered that her poetic reflections did not end in 1914. But that’s a story for next week. For now, please read or listen to “Divine Forgiveness” at the profile link.
