STUDY Of NORMAL MAN
NEW FIELD OF SCIENCE
DR.. Maria Montessori Says At
tentiOn Has Been Called
to Extremes.
Discusses Best Methods of Educat-
ing Children, in First Pub
lie Appearance.

That new field of science is being
opened-that of the study of the nor
NAL man'-was the declaration of DIR.
Maria Montessori, the Italian educator
in a lecture given at the New Masonic
Temple last evening. 1t was her first
public appearance in America and she
was very warmly received by a capacity
audience
She said science so far had limited it.
self to the study of the unusual and the
extreme; that the sick man had been
cared for, but the we'll man had been
neglected. The normal man. she said
had passed unnoticed while the extreme
types, such as athletes, had received at
tention.
Dr. Montessori made a point of the
fact that it was necessary to live with
children in order to understand them
best; that the psychology of the child
could not be learned by one who OBJ
served the child as he might a specimen
in laboratory. No teacher in the world
has yet reached the proper spirit toward
the normal child, in her opinion.
Cites Fault of Schools.
In the public schools, she said, teach
ers often thrust upon children a larger
number of ideas than they could grasp
at any one time, with the result that
the youngsters became confused and re-
ceived impressions which the teacher had
never intended TO give them. The edu-
cation of the normal child, she said,
should not be to teach certain things,
but rather to set free and develop his
activities. This principle, claimed the
educator, formed basis for all her work
The science of pedagogy. she declared,
would make for the best and fullest that
was in man and would develop the senti-
mental, the religious and spiritual life Of
man as ii had never before been de-
veloped.
DIR. Montessori's address was rather
general She related a number of in
stances in connection with her school. In
one case. she said, on a holiday. the chill
dren had opened one of the schools them
selves and had gone through their daily
routine, merely to show some visitors
how the school was worked.
Tells of Work in Capital.
DIR. Alexander Graham Bell, who pre-
sided, outlined the history of the work
which had been done in the Montessori
methods in this city, while S. s. Nc
Clure, who introduced the speaker, out
lined the work which had been done in
this country. Mr., Mcclure paid high trib-
ute TO the educator, declaring she was
a genius and was a master in many
fields.
Motion pictures taken in Montessori
scnoois in Italy were shown at the con-
clusion of DR.. Montessori's address. Miss
Anne T.. George. director of that method
OF education in this country, described
the work being done as the pictures were
being thrown on the screen She also in
terpreted DIR. Montessori's address, which
was in Italian.
DR.. Montessori will leave TODAY for New
York city where she is to speak tomor-
row evening.
Following the lecture a reception in
honor of the educator was held at the
nome OF Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander Graham
Bell whose guest she has been during
her stay here.
