But the opportunity of play to
form ideals Is shown frequently.
Girls often play mother and that

the kindergarten she performs that

the Senses" she continued. Mon
tessort materials are restricted to
exact, definite uses, with little pro-

kindergarten is cultural, the Mon

Though notifications have been

rejects. wholly or in part, all stories,

The rhythm work used in the Mon

through Miss Alys Bentley. and is
similar to that she gave to the
kindergarten long ago, while she
was director of music in the schools.
But the Montessori class room. as
described in Madam Montessori's
books, provided only for the tap

in vogue in kindergartens.

to lead the child to the grasp of

In Miss Watkins opinion, the Mon

not be antagonistic She believes
the Montessori methods so far used
are not so comprehensive as the
kindergarten ideas. She believes the
