CHILD FREEDOM.

One Of the lectures delivered by the
far,ous Dr. Montessori, during her re-
cent visit to this country. Is summar-
lied by the Outlook, az follows:
EVERYTHING that grows must have
~. own freedom; and It's freedom
must he respected-the freedom OF the
h,rd ia fly. the freedom OF the tree
to sink it's roots into the ground. IL
,,e nrevent the bird from moving
freely It ceases to be what it ought to
he. II. on the other hand. we root up
the tree and move 1t about from
Mace to place, we deprive 1t OF It's
freedom to grow and we injure 1t. We
recognize the freedom Of the bird as
beinR different from that OF the tree.
We should also recognize the freedom
Of the child, but we should try 10 as
cover what that freedom Is.
It IL certainly not abandoning the
child to its own devices. We know
GOOD deal about the physical freedom
of the child. but the inner freedom
of the child-the freedom OF his mind
-is harder to understand. TO learn
about it requires study. Children have
before them a great task in the pro-
cess of learning, incomparably more
difficult than that which confronts an
adult who goes into foreign country.
The child is not only learning
foreien language. for all language Is
foreign to him, but he il learning to
| nae his senses. He learns very largely
at first through the sense OF touch,
and vet he is being told by adults not
to touch; he is constantly being asked
II he cannot keep his hands off things
Children thus are learning In constant
antaRonism to adults: but in spite OF
the opposition they meet they go or
learning, but often with sense Of
irritation. They are bound to learn
in spite Of adults. To give children {
chance to learn II to release then
from this restraint. AMI when they arr

NO MORE MARRIAGE. RISKS
Reformers OF To-Day Certainly Are
Throwing All Kinds Of Safeguards
Around the Ceremony.

Under the microscope of modern
criticism marriage seems to be honey
combed with false Ideas and tyrannous
customs. So wrong Is 1t that we al
most doubt II any of our grandparents
could have been happy, and we sigh
with relief when we consider that at
last modern intellect Is about to de-
molish the old-fashioned methods and
build in their place scheme Of COM
nonsense marriage In which no sor-
row and regret can cloud the domestic
hearth.
What a primitive. careless thing
marriage has been hitherto Just be-
cause q man and a woman have been
attracted to one another they have
rushed blindly into a lifelong partner
ship without any careful forethought
or inquiry.
But we see the end of oil that nom
sense. Already the new marriage
the careful. well-considered mating
has arrived. The FIRST medically ex-
amined wedding has been celebrated
in this country. Surely this will give
lead to the world.
In future the first consideration will
be the medical certificate, and after
that the certificate Of temperament.
