The Montessori methodology would have been relatively new, only published and widely known within the five years prior to this date, but would have been greatly sympathetic to Farr’s spiritual experience within the Golden Dawn. The key concepts of the approach for teaching children – reflect much of that order’s framework: inner guidance of Nature, freedom for self-directed learning, planes of development, and prepared environment. http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montessori method [last accessed 09 November 2010].
