STOKES COMPANY All rights reserved, including that of translation into foreign languages, including the Scandinavian FASC April, 1912 [Page] I place at the beginning of this volume, now appearing in the United States, her fatherland, the dear name of ALICE HALLGARTEN of New York, who by her marriage to Baron Leopold Franchettibecame by choice our compatriot. Ever a firm believer in the principles underlying the Case dei Bambini, she, with her husband, forwarded the publication of this book in Italy, and, throughout the last years of her short life, greatly desired the English translation which should introduce to the land of her birth the work so near her heart. To her memory I dedicate this book, whose pages, like anever-living flower, perpetuate the recollection of her beneficence. [Page] [Page v]

Page 3 of 164IN February, 1911, Professor Henry W. Holmes, of the Division of Education at Harvard University, did me the honour to suggest that an English translation be made of my Italian volume, "Il Metodo della Pedagogia Scientifica applicato all' educazione infantile nelle Case dei Bambini." This suggestion represented one of the greatest events in the history of my educational work. To-day, that towhich I then looked forward as an unusual privilege has become an accomplished fact. The Italian edition of "Il Metodo della Pedagogia Scientifica" had no preface, because the book itself I consider nothing more than the preface to a more comprehensive work, the aim and extent of which it only indicates. For the educational method for children from three to six years set forth here is but the earnestof a work that, developing the same principle and method, shall cover in a like manner the successive stages of education. Moreover, the method which obtains in the Casa dei Bambini offers, it seems to me, an experimental field for the study of man, and promises, perhaps, the development of a science that shall disclose other secrets of nature. In the period that has elapsed between thepublication of the Italian and American editions, I have had, with my pupils, the opportunity to simplify and render more exact certain practical details of the method, and to gather additional observations concerning discipline. The results attest the vitality of the method, and the necessity for an [Page viii] extended scientific collaboration in the near future, and are embodied in two new chapters...
