itsuring 1t the benefits of certain
kinds Of training not Given in grade
schools-ethical. social, and moral
training particularly.
"Dr. Montessori does not claim
which she started. She evolved
them from those Of others. which
were already being applied to teach
ing feeble-minded and subnormal
children. In practice she modified
the methods thus used by an older
to her idea of the best way to teach
the normal average child Of the
Roman tenements. Apparently Its
original source accounts for the
basic principle Of her plan: the
development Of the child's ego. OF
its self-efficiency. Of It's character
as an Individual rather than as a
member OF a social group. like the
family. the neighborhood. the local
community. or the nation.
Requirements For Living.
Here arises tho first question in
the minds Of American educators In
considering the Montessori system.
While It is necessary to develop the
individuality Of a child OF less than
normal intelligence In order to make
It less dependent on others and more
efficient mentally. the belief grows
steadily stronger In this country that
the great lesson that children must
learn. to make the highest success
for themselves, and to be the best
members Of the community, Is that
of the requirements Of living in a
democracy with proper respect for
others as we'll as for self. The
kindergarten has been invaluable.
1t Is universally recognized. in pro-
viding the influences which form a
child's character and habits in this
direction.
1T Is natural that educators ac-
customed to look at all schemes of
pedagogy in the light Of American
conditions. needs and experience
should at least imagine that they
see in DR.. Montessori's method
traces OF a heritage from plan
for instructing feeble minded chill
dren. For instance It begins with
teaching the children to button and
unbutton. hook. unhook. lace and
unlace. put on and take OFF their
own clothes. to wash their faces
and hands and perform the general
personal care which according to the
American idea should be learned at
