ANNA GEORGE WILL RAIN CALLS HALT UNFOLD NEW SYSTEM ON SOCCER GAMES
To Explain the Meaning of the Montessori Method Of Education
Who is Dr. Montessori? What is the Montessori Method? Who is Anna E. George? These are some of the numerous questions that are being asked of the members of the School of Education of the University.
Anna E, George will analyze the Montessori Method, which is of profound interest to all persons interested in human development and psychological methods of training. She will speak in the chapel in Praser. He will at four o'clock Wednesday afternoon, number 18th. This lecture will be of interest to parents, teachers, physicians, and others alike. All are cordially invited.
A few months ago Anna E. George translated "II Methododella Pedagoga Scientifica," by Dr. Maria Montessori of Italy. This translatation was awaited by educators, physicians, teachers and parents with almost unpredicted interest. This general public interest had been aroused by a series of popular magazine articles stating the wonderful working properties of a set of didactic apparatus with children. Dr. Montessori, the author of this new method, was generally unknown, except to a small body of educational workers in Italy. And it is perhaps fortunate that exaggerated statement he tended to obscure the real value of this system of work.
Dr. Montessori is an enthusiastic whole-hearted worker. She is a trained psychologist. She studied Dr. Sequin's method of work with idiotic children. She conceived the idea that if this method succeeded with subnormal children it must produce results with children of normal ability. She, like Sequin, studied the children and adopted the work to the needs of the individual child. The children of the tenements were first taken. They were taught to wash their hands and faces, to dress to play, to work with plants and animals. They made things within their powers. Simple, yet as a result of these spontaneous exercises, children between three and five years of age learned to read, write, and perform simple arithmetical operations with ease and pleasure. There was no forcing, no punishing. Every child's nature unfolded according to the laws of individual variability. All were happy and made rapid progress in gaining strength and experience.
What is Dr. Montesori's Method? Her method is based upon pedagogical principles, some of which are as old as the days of Socrates. The first principle recognizes the liberty of the child in its spontaneous manifestations and

Coach Root's Rooters Were Forced to postpone First Game
The first game in the interclass soccer series was postponed yesterday on account of wet grounds. The juniors and seniors were to have played but J. Plivus paid a call early in the day and made a long stay.
This afternoon the freshmen and the sophomores will tangle. The weather man has promised a fair day so that the series may continue. The teams are anxious to get together and settle the question of supremacy. Some of the men who played football on the sophomore eleven will also play soccer and will attempt to erase the defeat that the two football team inflicted upon them.
The seniors and juniors will play the postponed game tomorrow, and the final will be played on McCook. Thursday is the start of the tournament with the winners of the two engagements.
The members of the team that wins will get their names engraved on a silver loving cup which the Athletic Association is offering. The cup will always remain in the permanent possession of the Athletic Association.

the utilizing of all of his energy. He must use this energy by self direction. A second principle is that the child should be allowed to work at a task when his interest has been aroused, and for as long a period as the interest lasts. She believes that this develops concentration of attention and habits of action. A third principle recognizes the importance of the natural instincts of the child. The desire to touch, to talk, to see, and especially the desire for muscular activity, all play a prominent part in the child's training.
Physical training plays a very important part in the child's development. The Montessori Method devices carefully to meet the needs of the growing child.
The greatest principle of the Montessori Method is that which transforms the teacher as a taskmaster into the teacher as a scientific observer. He must like the physician, observe, digress, find problems and express his impulses that need stimulation in a natural environment.
