Charlotte Mason was a turn of the century British educator who gave much original thought to education and tested her methods for many years with great success. She founded the House of Education in Ambleside England in the beautiful Lake District.
Mater Amabilis (pronounced MAH tur ah MAH bih liss) is a title of Our Lady in the Litany of Loreto ( Mother Most Amiable). It is one of the intermediate advocations that qualify or characterize the person of Mary as mother. Mary, under the title Mater Amabilis, is our patron. She is our model of how to be a mother.

G.K. Chesterton and the PNEU
This picture shows G.K. and Mrs. (Frances) Chesterton with Dorthea Steinthal (standing), the very first PUS (Parent's Union School) student. Dorthea's mother Emmeline is said to have been a great friend of the Chestertons and was highly instrumental in starting the PEU (Parent's Educational Union, later changed to the Parent's National Education Union or PNEU). Before her marriage, Mrs. Chesterton worked in the London office of the PNEU. Seated in the middle is Rhoda Bastable. |
