Montessori children's
house starts at Sayers
by CARLA McAL'LEY
The Bastrop Montessori
Society is an association of
parents who are learning
from Montessori principles
applied in the home and in a
parent operated preschool.
A four-year-old who con-
stantly interrupts his moth-
er while she is talking to
someone is shown how to
interrupt her politely by
saying "Excuse me, may I
talk to rtiy mother?" to the
person she is talking to.
It's like a magic wand.
Where before he met scowls
and frowns, he now finds
smiles and nods of accept
ant*. He delights in using his
newfound skill, and his
parent s are equally pleased.
This is how the Montessori
method solves everyday
problems in child rearing.
A three year-old who
always slams the front door
is shown how to open and
close t he door silently. She is
allowed to practice going out
and coming in, and, when
next she uses the door, she
remembers perfectly.
A two-year-old with a
dirty face is shown how to
climb on a stool by the sink,
look into a mirror placed
where he can see it, turn on
the faucet, wet a washcloth,
squeeze it, wash his face,
turn off the faucet and put
the cloth in its place. From
then on, all he needs is the
pleasant reminder, "Look in
the mirror," to slay kissably
clean.
An eighteen-month old
who wants to help with
breakfast is slowly shown all
the steps involved in cooking
an egg. Soon she is cracking,
turning and serving eggs
with amazing precision.
The ease with which very
small children can learn
complex tasks is one of the
discoveries of Maria Monte-
ssori, an Italian physician.
Dr. Montessori said, "The
child, if left without guid-
ance, is disorderly in his
movements, and these dis-
orderly movements are the
special characteristic of the
little child. In fact, he 'never

News
By Mrs. B.A. Sullivan
One of the loveliest of the
holiday parties held during
the Christmas Season was
the one held at the home of
Dr. and Mrs. J.I). McBee
when he entertained his
Sunday School class and
their wives. Honored guests
were Reverend and Mrs.
James Densman, pastor of
the First Baptist Church and
Mr. and Mrs. William
Breeden, Baptist Sunday
School Superintendent.
A lovely Christmas tree
and many beautiful gleaming
candles; which were charm-
ingly reflected in mirrors,
gave a fairyland Yuletide
atmosphere to the scene.
The guests passed the
time in friendly conversa-
tion, and the exchange of
Christmas wishes for one
another. Dr. McBee read a
lovely sacred story depicting
our dependence on one
another, and our need to
take advantage of every
opportunity to help our
fellow man, for in so doing,
we do for our Savior, whose
birthday we celebrate on
Christmas day. The guests
joining hands, were led in a
Christmas Prayer by Dr.
McBee.
Holiday goodies were
served from a beautiful
Christmas buffet by Mrs.
McBee in her usual charming
manner. The guests, on
leaving, carried with them
the true meaning of Christ-
mas in their hearts.

Mr. and Mrs. Herbert
keeps still,' and 'touches
everything.' This is what
forms the child's so-called
'unruliness' and 'naughti-
ness'."
"The adult would deal
with him by checking these
movements, with the mono-
tonous and useless repeti-
tion, "keep still." As a
matter of fact, in these
movements, the little one is
seeking the very exercise
which will organize and
coordinate the movements
useful to man. We must,
therefore, desist from the
useless attempt to reduce
the child to a state of
immobility. We should rath-
er give order to his
movements, leading them to
those actions towards which
his efforts are actually
tending. Once a direction is
given to them, the child's
movements are made toward
a definite end, so that he
himself grows quiet and
contented, and becomes.an
active worker, a being calm
and full of joy."
Guiding the child by
giving "order to his move-
ments" and "leading them to
those actions toward which
his efforts are actually
tending" is a cornerstone of
the Montessori technique
which also involves creating
an environment in which the
child can do everyday tasks
by himself and providing him
with stimulating learning
