New York legislature, spent Wednes-

The report says: This law sounds

not enough to depend upon the state

MAKES ATTACK ON
MONTESSORI PLAN
System 80 Years Behind Best of
Present Theory, Says
Prof. Fitzpatrick

I'm several fundamental respects
Madame Montessori is some 80 years
behind the best OF our present
theory" said Prof. William Heard Xii.
patrick, of Columbia university, in an
address to school men and women OF
Detroit in the Central high school,
Wednesday afternoon, in which he
severely criticised the so-called new
Montessori method. Miss Ellen Y.
Stevens, of Brooklyn, also spoke, ex-
planning the plan as she saw IT in op-
Grafton in the four schools OF Rome in
which II Is used.
Prof. Fitzpatrick branded the scheme
as Anticipated" and expressed the
opinion that 1t had been foisted upon
the scholastic world by clever adver-
Using and the strong personality OF
Madame Montessori.
Her ideas of freedom" he said,
ARE those OF Rousseau, but the char
acter building that she tries TO do Is
good. 1t is, as far as II goes, what
Prof. Dewey has been teaching In this
country many years. The real free-
dom of the Montessori school Is the
challenge before which our old style
OF kindergarten with its dictational
methods Is dying out.
Her idea of aNo-education, how
ever, is very limited in scope, and
many fundamental parts of her theory
have been rejected by the progressive
kindergarten teachers OF this country
who are far ahead OF her. She does
not know that the true theory OF edu-
cation has been raised, let alone set
tied"
Miss Stevens told how the young
sters, two, three and four years old,
are trained to usp their senses, to be
independent and self-reliant. Her en-.
thusiastic arguments for the good
parts OF the system were illustrated
by stereopticon views.

habit Of using pins and other metallic instruments as toothpicks should be condemned. In using a toothpick care should be taken: it is not enough that the food be removed. but also that it be removed gently. The gum which grows between the teeth has very valuable use and should not be crowded out. Occasionally We find one whose teeth are so perfect in shape and the gum tissue SD healthy that the toothpick is unnecessary. but for the ordinary individual too much stress cannot be laid on the need of it's use and the care which is ncces- sary Where the teeth are filled. care should he taken not to force. and thereby break off particles of enamel next to the filling or otherwise injure the filling. and the habit of chewing tooth9ick is a bad one
 In using the pick often one may find a tooth which gives evidence of pain. In such a case it is well to learn at once whether or not there is cavity forming in the tooth Often. too. the pick will give you first knowledge of tartar accommodating about the nccks of the teeth. and when this is discovered haste should be made to have it removed.

RIGHT USES OF TooTHPIcK.
Little Implement, Employed Regular ly and Carefully. Does Much

One Of the products of civilization is the toothpick. So far as we know the savage does not. indulge this hab- it except as he learrs it from the educated races. There are very few Tarts of the world where the. teeth are immune from decay. so the lack of its use is not because of the lack of need. The reason is probably that the savage has no thought of the care of the teeth and doubtless he is rot annoyed by the particles of food which crowd between his teeth. There are some who for politeness sake. Gcplore the use of the tOothpick
 While if is not arr article to use at all times and at all times. to discard ii altogether would prove disastrous
 The best toothpick is one of quill. its flexiblity. and the ease with which il is used making it ideal. The Ob- jection to the wooden toothpick is that it is bulky and liable to iniure the gum tissue and the delicate mem hrane surrounding the tooth: it some times silvers, producing wounds and inflammation in the gums. The metal toothpicl; is also inadvisab,c. and the
