The Discovery Of The Child

Two examples of the exercises
with the apparatus for visual
discrimination of dimensional
gradations. Note the intentional
movement of the hands and the
attitude revealing total concen-
tration of mind and body. The
careful scrutiny is a clear mani-
festation of the child's desire for
perfection. Top: Montessori
