NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.- DR.. Maria
Montessori. the great Italian educator
OF children, who comes to this country
TO teach her system for :hs uplift Of
the human race through the medium Of
consistent education, today told of her
aims and ambitions Of the Fundamental
phases Of her methods. Miss Anne E.
George, director of the work for the
Montessort Educational Association in
America interpreted for the educator,
who does not speak English.

Liberty of the child Is another very
fundamental thing. In NY school the

''It was through the efficient and abb
normal children that first learned my
great lessons about the teaching of
childhood. taught my POOR unfor-

opportunities for spontaneous activity
and freedom from the restraint of ig-
norant elders were working wonders.
''Our scientists have never had the
attitude of humility toward the normal

goes humbly to the bedside of the sick

AUCTION BRIDGE
By r. F. Foster.

In the old bridge days one of the easiest
rules for the beginner was always to
make it no-trumps with four aces If you
had the deal. and always to go no-trumps
on three aces If you were the dummy
A player who followed this rule once
when he had four aces and eight dia-
monds. all tops but the king, raised a
great howl because he lost the odd trick.
Rules are not made for exceptional cases.
At auction honors are hardly of suffi-
cient value to influence the declaration
on account Of what they will represent
above the line. their use being confined to
trick-taking. There are many scores bet
ter worth while. as the equity in the
game is worth 125. and a single trick
may be worth 200 points in penalties.
AS a rule, a five-card suit of hearts or
royals, headed by two honors, is bet
ter declara ton than no-trumps, even with
four aces. because it is safer. Here is a
hand that came up in one of my practice
classes not long ago.

We We're told that straw would bt
scarce this spring. Wars and rumors OF
| wars caused q deficit in a commodity
| that We. thought was inexhaustible. The
Italian war took peasants away from the
| field and the plaiters OF straw away from
| their tasks, especially in the districts
where Milan straw was made. The cha
otic condition in China since the republic
was declared has made the peasants
afraid to take their straw to market
through unprotected highways where ma
rauders abound. 1t seems a far cry from
these two serious events among the hu-
man race to the kind of straw hats that
a woman will wear.
The traders have searched hidden spots
Of the earth for supply of wearabie
straw ard they have been partly sue
cessful, but it is not improbable that the
rumors of scarcity in desirable straws
will add another burden to the high cost
Of dressing. AS for the prices of the ex-
elusive milliners, it is hard to see how
they could be raised within the shadow
of honesty: since small hat almost guilt
less Of trimming brings $65 and one with
a paradise plume brings $15O there is no
need to ask more for plait of straw. OF
course, II the milliners can find women
to pay these prices there is no reason
why they should not ask them, but the
