Abstract
In this historical research study, I examine Marietta Johnson and her organic teaching philosophy. I identify the role Marietta Johnson played in the Progressive Era educational reform movement. I identify organic education as a child-centered theory which addresses each student's mind, body, and spirit. I examine the ideological foundations that shaped Johnson's world view as well as the intellectual roots of organic educational theory. I outline the major pedagogical principles of organic theory and describe its precise instructional practices. I also analyze the paradoxical role of gender and race in Johnson's life and at the organic school.
