The Montessori Method.

Education has been defined as an at
tempt ON the part of the adult men,
. bers of a humane society to shape the
development of the coming genera
ton in accordance with its own ideals
of life. The conception of education
of DR.. Maria Montessori, who is now
in Washington, is radically different
from this conception. 1t is, in fact,
almost the reverse, since it advocates
the education of the child not accord
ing TO the ideals of the adult genera
tion, but according to the ideals OF
childhood itself. DR.. Montessori was
educated in medicine. Her interest
was first with mentally deficient chill
dren in Rome. With these her meth
ods were so successful that she then
applied those methods to normal chill
dren and had even greater success.
In her houses of childhood" the chill
dren teach themselves. They discover
the relations and ideas of the world
from objects and from each other.
The spirit of the Montessori system is
freedom and child initiative There
is no teacher, only a directress. The
children play their way to knowledge.
Americans are properly proud of our
system of national education. Even in
our frontier settlements when the
pioneer was face to face with the
question of existence, the schoolhouse
became early a center in the COM
munity. The rapid growth of our
population has demanded organization
and standardization, ( such as would
bring education to practically every
child. The system is complete in all
its stages from the primary depart
ment to the great universities. But the
very virtues of this system have been
ifs faults. 1t has tried to fit every
child into the system and in doing
this has sacrificed in large degree
the individual initiative and freedom
of the child. The child is tested by
the rule: Can you paSs?7 He is
forced to walk in the paths desired by
his elders. In spite of these objec-
tions, however, it may be that these
limitations are inevitable under a de-
mocracy, desiring to extend education
10 all.
Thus far in America the Montessori
system of education is little more than
a protest against the rigid machine
like system under which American
children are reared. 1t perhaps points
way for future progress. Teachers
in our public schools can, of course,
only in. limited way, respec and de-

HEINE MAY ALSO

Cub Swatter Is Asked to Play

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 1S.-Heine
his temperament and bat
ting average, may circle the globe this
winter. 1t all depends on the final rul-
ing of Charles Welch Murphy. Ac-
cording to members of the Trojan
band, who were leading the simple
life yesterday, John ]. McGraw, mas
ter of the champion Giants, has ap-
preached Heine and asked him to join
the New York forces for the world
tour scheduled to start from Chicago
next October.
The great Tim, commonly known
as the Harvard graduate, though he
never saw Cambridge, is dead anxious
to accompany the champions. He has
confided in brother Trojans, but
hasn't ''peeped' as yet to President
Murphy. Heine says he can get by
in the colossal expedition on at least
$500, and if the Cub boss don't OBJ
ject he will be among those present
with uniform rolls when the choo-choo
pulls away from Chicago Oct. 10.
Hence 1t behoOves the keepers of
the pyramids and the Sphinx to put
their freaks under proper protection,
for Zim is some walloping rascal. If
you don't believe it, kindly scrutinize
the box score, showing Heine to be
good for two singles and two homers
in the second clash with the Phils
Saturday.
McGraw, it is reported, is having
some trouble rounding up a quorum
from among his Giants for the ap
preaching journey. He is said to
have singled out Jimmie recently and
preached the world tour topic, and the
Cub third baseman expressed delight
and willingness to go in the event Mr.
Murphy raised no protesting voice.
