Gudrun Thorne-Thomsen
Rose H. Alschuler, director of WPA nursery schools, Chicago, and Flora Cooke, former principal of the Francis Parker School, have given Childhood Education permission to print this talk made by Mrs. Thorne-Thomsen to the Chicago WPA Nursery Schools. Mrs. Alschuler says of Mrs. Thorne-Thomsen: “Many years ago I saw her teach a group of children at the Francis Parker School in Chicago. I thought at the time that she was the greatest teacher I had ever seen work with little children. I watched her draw on her seemingly endless resources of knowledge, wisdom, and vitality and I wished that there were more Gudrun Thorne-Thomsens in the world. Unfortunately there is only one. In reality, education as she offers it, literature as she tells about it, and life as she lives it, are all of them arts of which she is master.”
