Excerpt from A Path to Freedom in the School I cannot refrain from expressing my deep gratitude to sympathizers among the leaders (explicit or implicit) of what we may very well call the movement for the emancipation of the child - to Mr. Edmond Holmes, to Professor Culverwell, to Professor John Adams, to Mr. Thiselton Mark, to Mr. G. W. S. Howson - to many members of the Montessori Committee. Without this encouragement to carry me through days rendered dark by scepticism and even by hostility, I might very well have given up my work in despair - although I did indeed have the constant sympathy and devoted zeal of my boys, to whom I dedicate this book.
