NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—A wonderful school or laboratory in Rome for the «tudy of child psychology and child de velopment Is the aim of Dr. Maria Montessori, the originator of the Mon- tessorl method of teaching children, who now Is in the United States. Dr. Montessori, a sweet-faced, moth erly little woman, stated that part of the funds for the laboratory project will be raised by a lecture tour in this country. “As a physician,” said Dr. Mon tessori, explaining the method, *T came to the realization that any ped agogical system that was to be of any permanent value must be based upon the observation of life in the lndivldu- a Only by knowing life In the in dividual could we hope to develop it. and to that end it must be studied during the formative period.” As the biologist drew his conclu sions, ho Dr. Montessori decided to work. To that end she placed the chil dren in an environment where all the equipment was reduced to such a small measure that they could man age It without assistance and be as responsible as grown-ups. The children wefe then permitted f o gain impressions through the sense and appropriate the world around them accurately, getting a proper foundation for their lives. They thus gain their education by a natural process of living, and not artificially. They are not taught, hut develop and grow’, learnine being incidental. “They do exactly what you do after leaving school,” was the way Dr. Mon tessori summed It up. “No rewards or punishments are necessary, and there is no truancy. The children have freedom, but not license. The road to freedom merges into the roa j to discipline.” ESCAPES HURTS IN RUNAWA\ WAYCROSS, Dec. 12.—Throw j under a huge truck loaded with flv barrels of gasoline, Samuel W.
