"OUR magazine is a new medium for extending to Spanish-speaking countries that moral light, defense and protection of children, which is the only object of the Association Montessori international. To who first hear about it, it may seem like strange program that has imposed this new «party». made up of people of all races and all religions; strange and absurd: the defense of the rights of the child. Indeed, who in the world is more beloved and most attended, children? Beings for whom children are not accepting all the sacrifices and we do all the disclaimers? And it is true that, if considered from this point of view, our task seems so pointless and illogical as it would be a campaign for the sweetening of the sugar. The creation of a body of support infants abandoned or tuberculosis, is conceivable and laudable; but to initiate a campaign to illustrate and defend the rights of normal children, against those oppressors called 'father' and 'mother', anyone can see it perfectly ridiculous..."
