Abstract: The article is devoted to special features of the American national education at the beginning of the XIXth century that created the unique socio-cultural environment for further development of education as one of the triggers of successful social development and led to the modification of Johann Pestalozzi's system of education by his student Joseph Neef. The most important part of Joseph Neef's teaching heritage is his methodological development of training and education issues. Republicanism principles were one of the most important dominants in his theory and practice of teaching as well.  In her research the author of the article has used the systems approach and the method of scientific analysis which allowed to describe Joseph Neef's theory of teaching as the realization of Johann Pestalozzi's ideas as well as the republicanism and democracy principles. The author of the article concludes that conceptual provisions of the theory of nature-aligned education allowed Joseph Neef to adapt the theory to the Amerian socio-cultural environment. As a result, Johann Pestalozzi's heritage was enriched with the innovative version of Pestalozzianism which, in its turn, created favorable conditions for the development of American economy.

It is considered as a complementarity method when "all things develop, without doing harm each other, and correspond with each other without mutual rejection". Nodal links and the selected material are subordinated as idea of identification of internal mechanisms of cultural development within separate territorial space, and use of a local history material in culturological training of students. Thus cultural process is considered as one of the main mechanisms of development, some kind of spring providing dynamics of functioning of various territorial processes and spiritual formation of future expert.
