Vnifed Sackve Stone ST. and her remarkable daughter

The State in which it was located. Wini-
fred came to call for these trips when
her play hours came. After America
came Europe, Asia and Africa until the
whole globe had been enCirCled-as a
matter of fact It was encirCled many
times.
Trips to the zoo, the parks and
Botanical Gardens all had their educa-
tive values, as did also shopping tours
into the business district One of the
most original methods of training the
memory which Mrs. Stoner has invented
is practised on these shopping trips.
The child is shown a shop window full
of toys, &c. She looks it over carefully
and II there are any articles in it the
names of which she does not know the
mother explains them. Then they pass
on and the child attempts to tell her
mother the name of everything she saw
in the window.
In order to do this, of course, she
must concentrate her attention when
looking into the show window. 1t is
an excellent exercise and has been a
great help to Winfred.
Every game common to the nursery
was put into use for educational pur-
poses, and so adept did Winifred become

Recently a mother wrote asking, Mrs.
| Stoner how much time it would require
SnHuIu Il motntr undertake to employ
the natural educational method of train
ing her child.
Not any more time than you spend
now at play with your little one" was
Mrs Stoner's reply. "Just play with a
purpose when YOU play; that's all that
is required. OF course the more ynu
play the more your baby viii learn.
| That is all there is to it,"
Just as she taught her child along
educational lines so did Mrs Stoncr
develop Winfred physically by games.
pastimes and exercises which she en-
joyed.
As a result, this twelve-year-old girl
has attained growth equal to that ~
the average girl two years her senior:

Mrs. Stoner keeps Just as busy as
does her little daughter. who Is of con-
slant assistance to her in her many
enterprises and undertakings.

Of her theories and practice. Not one
Of them is overbalanced mentally; not
one is weak physically. They differ
somewhat of course in the varieties of
their attachments, yet not one of them
is not advanced at least five years over
the average child of the same age.
1t all hinges on the spirit of play
which enters into every task under the
Stoner system of natural education.
Everything that is undertaken comes
as a game or "A lark, yet it is play with
a purpose and lark under direction
with some educational aim concealed.
Unable to sing Mrs. Stoner chanted
lines from Virgil's "A;neid' TO her little
one when she became restless or re-
cited passages from famous poems and
the classics. The even flow of language
as she scanned the Latin and recited
the poems and the rhythi of her vocal
tones pacified the baby. Even its negro
nurse was taught to sing TO the melo-
dies OF Southern ballads the words or
poetical compositions and lines from
Virgil. Gradually the child began to
initiate. Then came her first natural
educational game--Cal,ed "Arma Nir-
UNIQUE" ball. Mrs. Stoner would roll a
large red ball to the baby and pronounce
the first word in the ".Eneld"-"Arma."
The baby was taught 10 roll the ball
back. pronouncing as she did so the
second word, "Virumque." In time, by

movements and later attempt to ex-
plore themselves"
Following the example of the cat
mother Mrs. Stoner undertook the edu-
| cation of her little girl from her earliest
babyhood along play lines and has fol-
lowed this plan ever since. Winifred
never has been in regular attendance
at school.
That does not mean that Mrs Stoner
does not believe in our present public
school system. She does. but she be-
lieves that she has developed n system
which can work improvements in our
present grammar school plan, a system
which as a preparatory method will re-
suit in higher efficiency and enable
children to enter into the routine of the
school much further along than they do
at present.
But Mrs. Stoner's system stands in
direct antithesis to many of the teach
ings Of Nine. Montessori Chiefly does
it differ in that Mrs. Stoner believes
in keeping the Imagination alive by
feeding 1t. so to speak. She believes in
fairies and fairy stories. Nine. Mon
tessori on the other hand does not be-
lieve in fairy tales. Her theory is that
knowledge should not be served with a
sugar coating Of Imagination
However. the practicablity of Mrs.
Stoner's system is readily seen when II
becomes known that what Nine Mon
tessori accomplishes with children . or
3 years old Mrs. Stoner has been able to
! accomplish with infants. Under the
Montessori system a child at 3 acquires
mental proficiency equal TO that OF the
average child at or I, while under the
system of natural education invented
by Mrs. Stoner the three-year-old child
knows as much as the average child at
Q or 10.
At present there are no less than
twenty children, trained according to
Mrs. Stoner's plan, who stand as proof
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-11-15

means of this game, little Winifred was
taught to scan the first ten lines Of the
famous Latin classic in a manner that
did not overtaX her mentality.
Instead of giving the baby a rattle
for amless amusement Mrs. Stoner at
tached a balloon to the baby's wrist,
Each day a different coored balloon
was used. Thus baby came to cOncen-
trate its attention and became accus-
toned to the different coors and sizes
and shapes.
Then a number OF bells were fastened
to the foot of the trundlc bed Each
bell had different tone different
shade and was attached with a corre-
spending ribbon. Mrs. Stoner would
then tlnkle "A bell and pronounce the
name of its color. Thus the baby was
taught how to differentiate between the
tones and colors and received her first
instruction in that phase of her educa-
ton which would lead to her proficiency
in art and music.
Now came another game. This time
the baby was Mother Red and her
mother played the part of Mother Green.
A box filled with small pieces of red aad
green yarns was placed between them,
Little Wlnifred would then hunt for all
| the red pieces of yarn in the box, which
she called Mother Reds children, while
her mother did the same with the green.
After she had learned TO differentiate

Squirrel in Bryant Park

II HE usual tranquility of Bryant
Park was disturbed the other eve
by the sudden appearance from
no place in particular of a gray squirrel.
AZ the time of the strangers arrival
the benches were occupied by men of all
ages and experiences. Among the occu-
pants were a number of amateur natu-
ralists, who day after day, when the
weather was propltious, had studied ma
ture at close range in the park Yet
none Of them could recollect having
seen a gray squirrel in the park before.
The busytail's appearance did not
surprise the occupants of the benches
half as much at It startled the occu-
pants of nearby trees. Hundreds OF
sparrows Were aroused by the strangers
coming. who is this fellow who comes
unannounced into our DOMAINE" seemed
to be the question asked Still the SOUR
rel advanced without being the least Bit
scared
When the squirrel did not cease his
onward march the sparrows flew from
tree to tree stirring up their COM
panions. apparently preparing for
trouble. Hurried conferences were held
and scores Of sparrows were SO excited
That they kept on the wing seeking re-
'iults 10 lnelr ranks.
The squirrel continued his Journey To
the most convenient tree. evidently with
the purpose to climb it and get some
needed rest after his journey from Gem
tral Park perhaps. He was even I'M
mindful of the attention he drew from
the occupants Of the benches.
The squirrel was not destined to en-
JOY his contemplated nap in the tree.
He had no more reached its base than
the sparrows opened their attack by
sweeping down and harass.ng him from
all sides. The invader was completely
surprised and he was at loss what to
do. SO he started to run.
Along bounded the squirrel over the
lawn with the sparrows after him The
united chipping of the birds ra iscd such
a din that outsiders were attracted and
came into the park to learn the cause OF
the disturbance. The bench occupants
had long since left their customary
seats to seize vantage points around
the wire railing and to obtain a close
view OF the battle.
The squirrel ran about the lawn, but
the sparrows pressed him closely. The
birds carried the battle so far al to
sweep down now and then and take a
peck at the squirrels back. woman

between the various letters In the al
phabet by means of other interesting
methods invented by her mother a sim
liar game was played in picking out the
various letters from a box
Noahs arks and alphabet blocks and
anagrams assisted Winfred in learn
ing to spell and in associating the
names of animals and other objects with
their representations in type. She
would be shown picture of a cat with
the name underneath. Then she was
set to work picking out the letters and
combining them properly to make up
the word. Then she would search
among the Noah's art pets. her cutout
pictures, &c, for the proper picture to
go with the word.
Later the typewriter was brought
into play. Winlfred would be shown a
book and would then pick out the words
on the typewriter. This system Of
teaching spelling is one of the most
novel experiments in Mrs. Stoner's
entire system and one which has caused
great deal of favorable comment:
among the educators who have inves-
tigated her work. Likewise it was dis
covered that just as the typewriter
system was remarkable aid to the
teaching of spelling so did it also help
in memorizing. for after copying
poems, &C.. a number of times on the
typewriter Winlfred was able to repeat
them without any effort.
Arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trig-
onometry and the other branches e
mathematics became fairy lore-mys-
ferrous Journeys into the realms of good
giants. Arithmos was one of them.
Subtraction became great battle
waged between Major Suhtrahend and
Gen. Minuend and the survivor on the
field OF conflict was the poor little Re-
mainder.
Etymology became another game not
"A mere abstruse search for derivatives
1t became a search for the children of
Mamma Magma and others until Baby
Magnitude and Baby Magnificent and
all the other Magma children were re-
stored to the maternal bosom of Mamma
Magma.
Botany became a long, interesting
fairy story. Mr.. Cockle-Burr was not a
noNious weed, but "A mlschevous little

and plants.
Geography became n puzzle first and

Winifred then set to work piecing the
