About the Author:
Elizabeth Harrison (September 1, 1849 - October 31, 1927) was an American educator. She was the founder and first president of what is today National-Louis University. Harrison was a pioneer in creating professional standards for early childhood teachers and in promoting early childhood education.
After encountering the early kindergarten movement in Chicago in the 1870s, Harrison sought training in St. Louis and New York. She then taught kindergarten in Iowa and Chicago. In 1886, she founded a training school for kindergarten teachers in Chicago, which thereafter became an innovative college of education. She was president of the college until her retirement in 1920.
During her career, Harrison wrote a number of books, including: A Study of Child Nature (1890), In Storyland (1895), Some Silent Teachers (1903), Misunderstood Children (1908), Montessori and the Kindergarten (1913) and The Unseen Side of Child Life (1922). In 1893, the college published Harrison's book, The Kindergarten as an Influence in Modern Civilization, in which she explained, "how to teach the child from the beginning of his existence that all things are connected how to lead him to this vital truth from his own observation" Harrison's autobiography, Sketches Along Life's Road, was edited and published in Boston in 1930, after her death.
