Famous Woman Psychologist Is
Seeking Fund in U. S. for
Great School in Rome.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—A wonderful
school or laboratory In Rome for the
,fitudy of child psychology and child de
velopment Is the aim of Dr. Marla
Montessorl, the originator of the Mon-
tessori method of teaching children,
vrho now Is In the United States.
Dr. Monteesori, 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, '*!
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 indlvldu-
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, so Dr. Montessorl 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 were 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, but 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 roc. j
to discipline.”

EAT NUTS AND

CONGRESSMAN
Food experts to-day heartily In
dorse the advice, “Eat nuts and

man B. P. Harrison, of the Sixth

Representative Harrison Is fol
lowing up his advice by distribut
ing among hia colleagues bushels
of Mississippi pecans, grown In
