has the same attributes. Mrs. Fisher
sounds the keynote Of her subject here
and impresses one with the seriousness Of
her book and of Dr.. MOntessoris method
She also modestly (uulike Shawl tells
why she has written the book, namely
TO answer the questions Of her friends

turned from Italy, hcCkled her with such
questions as these: Now you have been
to Rome and seen the Montessori schools
tell US all about II. Is II really
wonderful, or is it just fad? Is II true
that the children are allowed TO do cN-
actly as they please? What IS
there in It for our children, situated as
We are?'
This book should set at rest the inter
rogato tors, who are for the most part the
interested mothers, and furthermore. II
gives TO these mothers an ultlmatum
which is an education TO themselves as
well as to their children. Very wisely
has the author set forth that the Mon

very marrow Of her bones the funda-
mental principle underlying every part OF
every exercise MontessorD. the principles
which she must never forget are in all
