Or beyond nature notebooks and "PNEU*, that's narration, isn't it?"
"I have put into it, not only an introduction to the technic of the method, but in addition I have set down all the new ideas, hopes, and visions which have sprung up in my mind as a result of my close contact with the new system and with the genius who is its founder. For ideas, hopes, and visions are as important elements in a comprehension of this new system as an accurate knowledge of the use of the “ geometric insets.” Contact with the new ideas is not doing for us what it ought, if it does not act as a powerful stimulant to the whole body of our thought about life. It should make us think, and think hard, not only about how to teach our children the alphabet more easily, but about such fundamental matters as what we actually mean by moral life ; whether we really honestly wish the spiritually best for our children, or only the materially best."--Dorothy Canfield Fisher, A Montessori Mother
