16 A MONTESSORI MOTHER pieces of money before her on her tiny table. She was engaged in sorting these into different piles .ac- cording to their size, and, though I stood by her some time, laughing at the passion of accuracy which fired her, she was so absorbed that she did not even notice my presence. As I turned away I almost stumbled over a couple of children sitting on the floor, engaged in some game with a variety of blocks which looked new to me. They were ten squared rods of equal thickness, of which the shortest looked to be a tenth the length of the longest, and the others of regularly diminishing lengths between these two extremes. These were painted in alternate stripes of red and blue, these stripes being the same width as the shortest rod. The children were putting these together in consecutive order so as to make a sort of series, and although they were evidently much too young to count, they were aiding themselves by touch- ing with their fingers each of the painted stripes, and verifying in this way the length of the rod. I could not follow this process, although it was plainly something arithmetical, and turned to ask the teacher about it. I saw her across the room engaged in tying a band- age about a child's eyes. Wondering if this were some new, scientific form of punishment, I stepped to that part of the room and watched the subsequent proceed- ings. The child, his lips curved in an expectant smile, oven laughing a little in pleasant excitement, turned his blindfolded face to a pile of small pieces of cloth

He felt of this intently, running the sensitive tips of his fingers lightly over the nap, and cocking his head on one side in deep thought. The child-spectators gazed at him with sympathetic attention. When he gave the their right name, they heads in satisfaction. all smiled He drew and out nodded another piece from the big pile, coarse cotton cloth this time, which he instantly recognized ; then a square of satin over which his little finger-tips wandered with evident sensuous pleasure. His successful naming of this was too much for his envious little spectators. They turned and fled toward the teacher and when I reached her, she was the center of a little group of children, all clamoring to be blindfolded. " How they do love that " exercise ! she said, look- ing after them with shining eyes ... I could have sworn, with <strong>mother</strong>'s eyes ! " Are you too busy and hurried," I asked, " to ex- plain to me the game those children are playing with the red and blue rods ? " She answered with some surprise, " Oh, no, I'm not busy and hurried at all!" (quite as though we were not all living in the twentieth century) and went on, " The children can come and find me if they need me." So I had my first lesson in the theory of selfeducation and self-dependence underlying the Mon-
