Excerpt from The Elementary School Teacher, Vol. 13: September, 1912-June, 1913 A committee consisting of members of the faculty and student body of Teachers College visited Rome for the purpose of inspect ing the schools. Committees from England have also inspected the schools. American travelers in Rome are said to congest the Montessori schools to such an extent that admission to the schools is being restricted. The apparatus which is supposed to make easy the introduction of the Montessori method is now on sale in this country at a price which seems to the casual observer to be considerably above the actual material value of the apparatus supplied. The public press is interested in reporting the mono graph from the Bureau of Education and the various discussions which are held at mothers' meetings and educational gatherings. In the meantime, there is a very distinct note of conservatism in the reports of trained observers who have seen the system in operation. Evidently the difference between an Italian school and an American school has not been properly evaluated by those who were at first most enthusiastic for this Montessori method.
