supplements by issuing with its

Bulletin On Montessori
Method Of Education

The Montessori movement, con-
sidered by many radical depart
ure from traditional educational
methods, is reviewed by Miss Anne
E. George in the annual report OF
the nUited Stats Commission OF
Education recently issued. The
method is summed up as free

DR.. Montessori's particular con-
tribution to the world, according
to Miss George, has been that OF
applying the methods of expert
mental science to the study OF man.
The Montessori "didactic mate

place the teacher at the earliest
stage of education and to make 1t
nossible for the child to accom-
riish his first work independently
Of a mature mind. "Out OF such
experiments and the environment
that DR.. Montessori establishes,
declares Miss George, "she conn

fresh facts, and to build up the
content of scientific pedagogy
through method of research, linn
tied by no personality, allied sole

liberty"
AS an instance of the crystal

connection with the Montessor
movement, Miss George describes
the organization in May, 1913 a

educational Association, formed
"to promote and develop in Amer
