On this day, 13 October 1909, Francesc Ferrer, radical Spanish educator, was executed. He was sentenced to death by a military tribunal despite no solid evidence being brought against him. His murder caused protests across the world, from Paris to Argentina. In 1901 he founded the Escuela Moderna (Modern School), a non-compulsory primary and secondary school. His pedagogical outlook was largely inspired by the works of William Godwin and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, both of whom firmly rejected the idea of education brought about by means of compulsion. During Ferrer's life, la Escuela Moderna attracted international attention and prompted visits from the likes of George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Leo Tolstoy. He was praised by Emma Goldman as "a rebel," and his methods influenced Spanish anarchists during the Spanish revolution.

"I think when my grandmother went out into the field, she saw herself in those children she met, and those mothers also. She was the first celebrity to do anything like this, but she was also the first public figure who would go to these countries and not just say hello to the children or greet the mothers. She would really pick them up and cradle them and kiss the mothers' hands. She was really physically involved. I think it demonstrates really well how personally she took all of that and how she wanted to be involved in a very personal way." —Emma Ferrer on her grandmother Audrey (Source: Forbes)

Whatever objection I, as an Anarchist, have to the Republicans of Latin countries, I know they tower high above that corrupt and reactionary party which, in America, is destroying every vestige of liberty and justice. One has but to think of the Mazzinis, the Garibaldis, the scores of others, to realize that their efforts were directed, not merely against the overthrow of despotism, but particularly against the Catholic Church, which from its very inception has been the enemy of all progress and liberalism.
In America it is just the reverse. Republicanism stands for vested rights, for imperialism, for graft, for the annihilation of every semblance of liberty. Its ideal is the oily, creepy respectability of a McKinley, and the brutal arrogance of a Roosevelt.
—Emma Goldman, “Francisco Ferrer and the Modern School,” Anarchism and Other Essays
