to play, or work" with these exer-
cises as long as they want, as many
days in succession as they want. The
teacher shows them once what to do
or how to do a thing and then leaves
them to their own resources. II a.
child cannot grasp thing once 1t is
postponed until some other hour or
day; there is none OF the incessant
repetition by which facts are driven
into the child's head in other schools.
When the child lis tired of Its exer-
cises It wanders at ease and at Will
throughout the room or even goes out
into the garden (the ideal Montessorl
school always has garden or oper
court, into which the children may
wander at willy until the spirit moves
him to return to whatever exercise he
wishes. Children who are overserved
are very often mentally deficient is
the Montessori principle and SO the
individual guided by the love and
moral suasion of the teacher serves
itself and progresses without regard
to the other members OF the class.
One Boys Record.
Miss George told In her Kansas
City lectures last week of five-year-
old boy who did absolutely nothing
the first three days he was IN the
school but tie bows with bright col
ored ribbons on one OF the exercise
frames. He was allowed to do what
ever he pleased and when the spirit
moved him he took to playing with
the other exercises, learning thereby
to distinguish between rough and
smooth, between varying lengths and
thicknesses and heights OF rods and
prisms and ultimately to trace fig
ures on paper and soon to write and
to count without making mistake.
She told Of the young rebel who is
now the star pupil in the class OF
twenty-five and who was not interest
ed in anything In the early days but
the watering pot, with which to tend
the flowers, and an exercise frame on
which to snap cloth holders together
as one snaps glove. Today that little
| rebel is the brightest and sweetest
child in school, can read and count
and write.

Iowa girl, Miss Florence Ward, of

time in Rome last year, is an enthu-

is writing book which will shortly

A Simpson college graduate, Silas A.
Egly, is manager OF the House of.
Childhood, In New York, which is CO.

America.
What Is this new educational sys-
tenn that is engrossing the energy
and arousing the enthusiasm of SO
many Iowans and is the talk of the
educational world?
The Natural Way.
Briefly, the Montessori system is
just this: a sane, natural way of
arousing the dorman sensibilities of
the child into realizing that he has
the power to serve himself and to do
things which. have heretofore been
considered beyond his ability. DR..
Montessori perfected her system by
working among insane and mentally
defective children In Italy; she has
proved Its value equally well and
strikingly among children at the Brit
ish embassy in Rome and on the arts
tocratic Mob Hill section of the Eter-
nal City. Her leading disciple in this
country, Miss Anne E. George, has
made a remarkable success Of the
sive suburb of Tarrytown, New York,
! home of Helen Gould aud John D..
1 Archbold, Of Standard Oil fame, and
is conducting az equally successful
school in the Washington home of DR..
Alexander Graham Bell, inventor or
the telephone, among her two dozen
pupils being the little two-year-old girl
of Secretary OF the Interior Fisher a
prominent member Of President
Taft's cabinet Miss George gave a
series of lectures in Kansas City last
| week on the Montessori method.
Undue Restraint Discouraged.
The underlying principle of the
Montessori system is that the child
must be considered as an individual
and must not be kept under undue
restraint or discipline. No teacher
Will ever be completely successful,
declares DR.. Montessori, who does
not realize that there are in her class
individuals mentally and morally de
ficient, who are problem in and OF
themselves and who must be dealt
with as individuals and not merely as
members of a class or whole. When
DR.. Montessori has vindicated her
system by training class OF defec.
tive italian children SO well that they
passed the examination in company
with a class OF normal children from
the public schools OF Rome the world
held up its hands in admiration and
cried, ''Montessori has made the

Teaches Them Young.


And SO, with this theory, she set
about training mentally bright and
normal children. with the result that
she has perfected a system which
enables four year olds to write in six
weeks and to read in even less time,
a system which makes for such bal
anced nerve and muscle control that
often medical and surgical attention
is no longer necessary once the child
becomes engrossed in this system OF
developing and co-ordinatlng the
muscles, big and little, OF her body
In her lectures in Kansas City Miss
George told Of fiye-year-old girl
whom the most eminent surgeons de-
clared must be done up in braces and
supports 80 as to guide and guard her
physical development and curb her
deformity. After few weeks in the
Montessori school the same eminent
surgeon declared that such progress
was being made as convinced him
that braces would not be necessary.
The child had been shocked" out Of
her abnormality and deformity and is
rapidly becoming normal well bal
anced child.
Shocking the Senses.
''Sence shocking stimuli is what
the elect of the Montessori faith call
the exercises or methods by which
the work is carried on The unelect
have been told that the work is first
carried on through the sense of touch
alone. But this is wrong. DR.. Mon

a series of exercises or games by
