Show SAYS TOYS WILL BE UNKNOWN Mme. Montessori Predicts That in Future Fu-ture Children Will Find Play in Useful Things. Dr. Maria Montessorri of Rome, Internationally In-ternationally famed authoress and educator, ed-ucator, foretold to 700 women the coming of the time when toys will be unknown and children will find enjoyment en-joyment In useful things adapted to their mental level. She was talking at a meeting arranged by the New England Eng-land Montessori association. "Impatience on tbe part of mothers materially hinders the progress of children," chil-dren," she said. "Let the child take his own time about performing duties and you will find they are done far better bet-ter than mothers could do them. Imagine Imag-ine yourself dressing leisurely, but thoroughly, to be suddenly grabbed by a giant maid, literally thrust Into your clothes and hustled into a motor car. "Sometimes we adults go part way through life as If In chaos until we find something that Interests us. Then a phenomena takes place. Why not give the child the same chance? We can be compared to an airplane. We first must have a motor, then we run over the ground a short distance and finally we rise in flight. A child must be developed along those same lines." |
