​Maria Montessori Writes to Her Father: Letters from California, 1915

Translated and introduced by Carolina Montessori

To celebrate the formidable technical achievement of constructing the Panama Canal, two simultaneous expositions had been organised: The Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco and the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego. Montessori was invited to give training courses and direct demonstration classes at both fairs. In August 1915, the famous Glass Class was opened at the San Francisco Expo. She had hesitated to accept these invitations, as it meant leaving behind in Rome her 82-year old father, Alessandro Montessori, who was in a frail condition.
