Abstract
A VERY general remark which followed the appearance of “the Montessori Method” was that that work provoked thought, and led teachers in infant schools and kindergartens to reconsider both their methods and the principles underlying them. In that work Dr. Montessori made reference to the importance of accurate physical records, and gave testimony to the influence these had had in leading up to the system in use in the children's houses. The translation of her lectures on anthropology as applied to education has therefore been awaited with great interest, and the result is a book which must lead all responsible for the physical welfare of the school-child to take stock of their data and their conclusions.
