"Of course, it is hard to carry on the

schools are being used as hospitals.
Women Bitterly Resentful of War.
"All over Europe the women are
aroused. They are bitterly resentful of
the war-even the French women to
whom have talked. They said: 'Our
sons have been taken from US and
forced to commit murder and be muir

"The women of Europe are awake;

Then DR.. Montessori described her
system Of education, which is very
practical The equipment of her
schools includes aprons that the chill
dren learn to put on and button for
themselves; in fact, "buttoning up"
and lacing, and tying knots and bows,
in short, learning to dress ones self, is
a very important Montessori course. So
is learning to wash ones self and clean
ones teeth, and set the table and serve
and clear away the dishes.
