ANY persons have left for a long
time that something la funda
mentally wrong In our methods
of teaching young children. There
is, in the minds of such persons,
no disposition to cenaure educationa,
but rather a groping sense of seeking
for the right the Ideal method. 80,
the true system of education for young
children has been found by a woman.
The story of this discovery, and its
practical application, form a romance
more fascinating to the woman inter
ested In children, than any fiction.
In MoClure's magaslne for May, there
is an Illustrated article by Josephine
Toiler about Maria Monteaaon, the orlg
lnator of Nature'a method of educa
tlon. But the story begins, among the
cruelties and" crimes of the Seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries, when persona
desiring to be rid of Imbecile or help
less children, carried them off into the
wild, and there forsook them. Ten of
these unfortunates survived the rigors
and dangers of the wood and desert
life to which they had been abandoned,
and later, were discovered, living the
life of the other anlmala about them.
To one of these little ones, we owe
this wonder working system of Maria
Monteeeorl. In 1791 In the. Department
of Aveyron, some hunters caught a wild
boy apparently 11 or It years of age.
He was made the subject of educational
experiments by Dr. Itard, of tho French
National Institute for the deaf and
dumb. Although the boy remapped an
imbecile until his death, he waa the
means of educating Dr. Itard who passed
an to a pupil, Edouard Seguin, his en
thuslaam and bis conclusions as a re
sult of which, Seguin became a noted
specialist In the care of defective and
idiot children and opened the first
school for them tn France. In 1850
Seguin came fo the United States where
ne remained unui nis a earn in ibbu in
New York city.
' In 1846 Seguin published a book In
Pari on the treatment of Idiots, which
fell under the eye of Maria Montessorl,
the first woman ever granted the degree
of doctor of medicine by the University
of Roma Thla. book led the Jtallan
woman back, to the wild boy rescued
from the woods and cared for bv Dr.
Itard, and at the pedagogio congffss in
Turin In U9t her views upon the train
ing of defective children ware so well
received that the minister of public
Instruction invited her to give a course
of lectures in Rome to teachers Inter
ested la the treatment of backward ohll
dren. This course of lectures led to
the establishment of a "mind straight
ening school" to which deficient and
feeble minded children of Rome were
sent
Maria Montessorl, brought her defi
cient children, up to the level of at
tainment reached by normal children,
under the established system of educa
tion.
Some "warrens of the poor," In Rome
were turned Into decent habitations for
human being under the direction of
Bdo&rdo Talamo an architect who of
fered Maria Montessorl entire charge
of eome infant schools established In
connection with this redeemed quarter
of the eternal city. Here Maria in
stituted her "Houses of Childhood,"
where she proved beyond question that
It Is not the fault of the normal child
that he make no better showing than
the idiot of his age; but the method of
education under which his mind Is
stunted and deformed. Maria Montessorl
did what anybody would do who obeyed
her powers of observation. She assumed
that her i-year-oids were creatures
chiefly of their physical senses and set
about raising those senses to power of
efficiency, beginning with the sense of
touch, some of her drills in this sense
being performed with the eye blind
folded. "At the very root of her dis
covery," says Miss Toiler, "lie what
may be called the rediscovery of the 10
finger. Put on the track by Segulai
he realised that the sense of touch,
the basis of all the other senses, was
the great interpreter of vision and guide
to accuracy of perception. It was at
the same time the earliest developed of
the faculties and the first to be dulled
If left uncultivated. She found that
the finger tip of young children are
alsnost unbelievably sensitive, but . in
the absenoe of careful training, they
begin to lose their sensitiveness at the
age ot 6. The first step In her method,
then, is to tea oh children to 'see with
their fingers' and thus to cultivate a
delicately retentive muscular memory."
Of course, this method reduces the
strain upon baby eyes infinitely, and
hence that upon the brain. The "Pro
fessoressa's" next principle is that "all
education worth having la auto-educa-tlon."
He third Is that there are no
"bad" or "vlclous" children. The Ideal
of "discipline for liberty" la the one
set before teachers under Marie Mon
tessorl. "The artificial rigidity and Im
mobility of the ordinary school system
are unknown in the Houses of Child
hood. In her estimation the child "ought
to be free within the limit imposed,
not by scholastio convention but by so
cial amenity; that is to say, he must
not use his freedom to hurt or Incom
mode others. He must be taught to
distinguish between good and evil but
not as In the conventional discipline, to
confound good with Immobility and evil
with activity. And as a matter of fact
discipline presents little or no diffi
culty In the Houses of Childhood. When
I said to Maria Montessorl: 'How do
you manage to keep them so quiet and
so goodT" she replied:- 'Because they
are all doing whai. they lllte to 4a.'"
But that children aometimea choose
to remain perfectly quiet la shown by
the following; "One of Maria Mon
tessori'a most curious and valuable dia
coverlea, is of the educative value of
silence. One day she happened to meet
outside the school-room a mother with
an inrant four months old. swaddled
after the Italian fashion. She carried
the little mortal into the school-room
and held It up to the children, half
Jestingly, aa a model of placidity. Im
mobility and nolseleesnesa. Aa she en
larged on these characteristic, the Imi
tative instinct of the children asserted
itself and they all fell to rivalling the
baby in immobility. The effect was
marvelous and ever since that day, the
game or silence' has been one of the
most popular in all the school." Some
times this "game" will he asked for
twice In one day.
These children at four years of age
are writing without themselves know
ing how they learned, but thinking they
are doing so because they have grown
"big enough." This is done without un
pleasant effort of any sort on the part
of either teacher or pnplL
There is one conclusion to be reached
from the foregoing: To make over our
own cumbersome, unnatural school sys
tem as soon aa la practicable, In har
mony with this newer and natural sys
tem. In the words of Maria Montessorl:
"It may not be long before the figure
of the old schoolmistress, who labors
to preserve the discipline of immobility:
and weara out her lunga In a shrill and
continuous flow of talk, shall have dis
appeared. For the mistress ' will be
substituted a didactic apparatus which
itself control error and places the
child on the path of auto-education. The
function of the mis trees will ' then be
simply to direct, patiently and silently,
the spontaneous effort ot the chil
dren.'
