No wonder the hours sped all toe
fast for Kenneth. He had hardly
gotten absorbed in a game which
could be played only by the care
ful handling of the small unfamili-
ar objects, when q musical gong
announced that he must fly to the
low wash-stands, roll up his
sleeves, lave his grubby paddles
and dry them, and partake of
bread and milk. The children had
individual soap-boxes and towels,
and Oh the JOY of splashing water
on ones own hands, instead of be-
ing "warshed" with quickness and
dispatch by a business-like mother
or nurse! And how good the
little lunch tastedl With renewed
vim, one might return to the big
sunny room, and march to the
strains of a piano, holding jing-
ling tambourine to be swung in
rhythm which the most awkward
child could not resist -. The
musical sense is trained by delight
full exercises .... for instance,
there is set of bells, carefully
tuned to the scale notes. And
small ears soon learn their value,
and small hands arrange them in
consecutive. steps which, when
sounded, form the scale! Before
one knows it, the gong has rung
again, and it is dinner time.
Today the wee ones had soup,
then mashed potatoes. carrots and
Leas creamed together, delicious
baked fish, bread and butter, and
rice-pudding with jelly. Each
course was placed on The table by
the deft waters, and the children
permitted to serve themselves.
Their meals were varied, but this
was typical one, and to Judge by

methods. The establishment OF
like schools under her graduate
pupils was begun in other coun
tries. and in New York, as in Bar
celonia, London and Milan. a fac
tory was established for the con
struction of the particular didac
tic material invented by DR.. Mon,
tessori for the teaching of her
principles. Then the outbreak OF
the war put a stop to much of the
international work concerning the
method; and DR.. Montessori. who
has been lecturing and training
teachers in America for some time.
decided that our sunny California
was most like her bella Italia. In
that belief, she opened her own
school here in Los Angeles, which
will be the Mecca of those inter
ested in the most practicable and
improved methods of childtrain-
ing.
The House of Childhood stands
on the edge of a small ravine,
whose grassy sides slope gently to
a real brook. Over the brook a
low bridge has. been constructed,
and IN the beeshes which fringe
1t, substantial platform and
crows nest invite the small boys
to explore. Is it any wonder that
small Kenneth took one compre-
hensive look at tthese surroundings,
and decided that this was the
school for himl It is the convic-
ton of Madame Montessori, and
the principle on which she builds
her method-that the small chilu
needs early training in the co-ordi-
nation of his muscles. and that all
his WORK, play, and daily occupa-
tion should tend toward making
him master of bis small body and
mind.
The grounds at the Casa del
Bambini are Furnished with this
end in view--games, and furniture
for the healthy exercise of the wee
pupils. and throughout the day
they are taught to do everything
for themselves.
Kenneth found fascinating ar
ray of objects on the shelves of
the playroom, and in the big sun
ny conservatory. Here he might

choose low table and chair, built
just for his height, and work
out one of these queer objects.
There were mats and rugs to carry

DR.. Mon tessori, whose strong,

repose, and peace, with interest,
than any face I have ever seen,
was asked how the children were

the work they were doing Did
they not run from one new thing
to another9 Were they capricious?
Did they attempt things too diff

In her liquid voice, she inquired
what one would do If entering a
room in which various peoples
were speaking their own languag-

derstood, of course Exactly.
Watch the child. He would turn
from that which was too easy, or
too difficult. He would select that
which was in his ability to do,
with little thinking, and prac-
tice, and then having mastered it,
he would invariably choose the
next most difficult If necessary,
he was gently directed by one of
the teachers who supervise each
group, but it was rarely necessary
to take from or give TO child
more suitable work.
These teachers formed a most
interesting study in themselves.
