Abstract
didactic apparatus used by Montessori is not a set of mere separate toys. Neither are these materials used simply for the purpose of sense training. In the fullest sense they are the instruments of the psychological laboratory. The method of Dr. Montessori is the method of the experimental psychologist. Alongside of this quotation from an article of Carl Byoirs, president of the House of Childhood in New York, we give the following from William Boyd's From Locke to Montessori:3 Unlike Pestalozzi, she has not succeeded in evolving a coherent and unified scheme of thought out of her experimentation. Her so-called method is not really one method, but an aggregation of methods only loosely related in her own mind and capable of being employed in detachments from each other without any serious loss of virtue to any one of them.
