INTERESTS OF CHILDREN.

The children are allowed TO play with
whatever objects interest them Whethei
they be blocks or squares Of bright col
ored cardboard or pieces Of canvas To
be laced or buttoned together, all these
things teaching the child muscular con-
troll and making him efficient at the same
time in matters of daily life. II Is not
long after a child has learned to lace the
pieces of cloth together that he discovers
his shoes. Every one knows how proud
the small child Is when he begins to be
able to dress himself. Or. Montessorl
helps him to learn these things, instead
of stumbling upon them.
The result is that in the Casa del
Bambini' little tots OF two and three
wash themselves, serve the luncheons to
the school and put the room In order
after the lessons.
The natural activity Of the child is per-

hard TO expect her TO enjoy the game.
/ am often asked If the modern woman
goes into business for the money or for
the fun OF tile game. The answer is that
if she is in the wrong place she is there
for money; if she is in the right place II
means that she feels the same thrill OF
pleasure in beating the game that the
man does. The American man, you Know
doesn't make money for the moneys
sake: if he did. he would stop when he
had enough. No. he keeps on playing
the game just because he loves II 80 ne

The woman rightly placed is just as
indifferent to the money. OF course we
all like money; what I mean is that the
