Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A School in Action: Data on Children, Artists, and Teachers; A Symposium The Bird School, Peterborough, was founded in the summer of 1917 by Joanne Bird Shaw (Mrs. Arthur Johnson). In common with many other parents, Mrs. Johnson had for several years felt that during the long summer school vacation, often from June until October, the hiatus in the systematic mental training of young children was a very serious handicap to them and entailed much loss of effectiveness in the autumn resumption of school work, when several weeks are annually spent in the painful effort to re-connect with long dropped work and to re-establish habits of attention and application. Her single aim, then, in founding the school was to provide for her own children, for those of her summer neighbors, and for a small group of the Peterborough village children, during the months of July and August, the best educational instruction at her command. This instruction was to be combined with exercise and play. Mrs. Johnson built her school on a height beside the mountains, four miles from the village, on her own estate of some six hundred wooded acres, - a charming stone building with, in addition, open air pavilions and class rooms, a laboratory, a work-shop for carpentry and a completely equipped playground.
