| The following is an explanation of
| the leading principles of the new
| Montessori method, which has been
| adopted this year in the Kindergar-
| ten schools in Augusta. This method
is proving very Successful along edu-
cational lines and is also meeting with
| favor on the part of the parents of the
children IN attendance.
The MontessoTi method, . or new
method of infant education, is sys-
! tenn OF applying the principles of self
activity and OF individual freedom, car
| ried out fearlessly to their logical con-
clusicns, TO the training of children
| three to seven years OF age in an in
stitution known ~ the House of Child
hood. The originator of this method
is a woman trained for many years as
a scientist, medical practitioner, and
pedagogical philosopher in the uni
versties Of Italy, particularly the Uni
versity OF Rome, with a long expert
ence as a teacher of mentally deficient
children.
DIR. Montessori conceived the idea OF
applying The methods and materials
used IN training the mentally deficient
to normal children. Most of the char
acteristic features OF her method have
been recognized and acted upon by
others, but she is the first TO have
marshaled all these features into Il
complete system, and in doing this she
not only gave them the stamp OF
her own remarkable genius, individual
ity and spirit, but has made
original contributions in methods
and practice, and in the materials,
known as didaetic materials, through
which much of the training in the
Houses of Childhood is carried on. She
is therefore entitled to rank rs one OF
the world's original thinkers in edu-
cation. ana as one who. when she
speaks about the training of children
is entitled to respectful attention ana
thouehtful consideration.
The point OF view of this new meth
cd OF infant education is strictly that
of the scientific evolutionist The APP
proach to the child is always rigidlS
and consistently along the lines of BIZ
illogical psychology
On the physical side the child is to
be viewed from the standpoint, first, o.
his animal heritage, and second, OF ms
race heritage His own peculiar needs
are always to be respected and TO be
kept constantly III mind.
On the social side. he is viewed as
an independent organism which is
eventually to he merged into the so
cial community with which he is iden-
tilted, and in which he must inteili-
gently perform the functions OF home
builder, me-supporter, and patriot
ic Gog-fearing citizen.

TAFT AND TEDDY
HEAD TICKETS
Two Conventions Were Held in
Chicago Saturday
Night.
NEW PARTY IS LAUNCHED
TAFT and Sherman Nominated by the
Regulars and Roosevelt VIII
Head Independent Ticket.
The Party Splits.

AS indicated by the Associated
Press specials to this paper Sat
urday afternoon two tickets were
placed in the field that night by
the republicans in Chicago.
With the party admittedly fac
ing the greatest crisis in its his
tory, William Howard Taft of Ohio
was renominated for president Sat
urday night at 9:25. Vice presi-
dent Sherman was again named as
Taft's running mate.
In the dying hours of the regu-
lar republican convention Theodore
Roosevelt was nominated for presi-
dent on the independent ticket Fol
lowers of former President Roose-
welt gathered in Orchestra Hall,
less than a mile from the coliseum,
and pledged their support to the
former president.
In accepting the nomination, Col
Roosevelt appealed to the people
of all sections. regardless of party
affiliations, to stand with the
founders of the new party, one
of whose cardinal principles, he
said, was to be thou shalt not
steal"
The informal nomination of Col
Roosevelt was said to be chiefly to
effect a temporary organization.
At later time, probably in Aug
ust, it lis intended that a national
convention shall be held Col.
Roosevelt, in accepting the nomina-
ton, said he did SO on the under
standing that he would willingly
step aside If it should be the de-
sire OF the new party. when organ
lied, to select another standard
bearer.
The speech nominating Col
Roosevelt was made by Controller
William A. Prendergast of New
York, who was to have presented
the CoIonel's name to the first con-
vention. Dean William Draper Lew
is of the University of Pennsylya-
MIA Law School, who was to make
one of the seconding speeches, de-
livered the address which he had
prepared for the republican con-
vention.
The revolt of many of the Roose-
welt delegates in the convention
was open from the moment the per-
manent roll call containing the
names of contested delegates was
approved. "Valedictory" state
ments were read in behalf of Col.
Roosevelt. asking that his name
not be presented and that his del
egates sit in mute protest against
all further proceedings.
A great majority of the Roose-
welt delegates in Illinois and all in
the Missouri and Idaho delegations
declined to follow his advice, but
Col. Roosevelt's sway over the del
egates from California, Kansas,
Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Dakota
and West Virginia was all but alb
solute.
Most of the delegates from these
states announced their purpose Of
