LessonFromBufordCourt.

TheRightRev.MonsignorT.A. Newsome(AdministratoroftheCatholicMentalWelfareHospitalfor Children,BesfordCourt,Worcester), wasthelecturerfortheMontessoriSocietyattheeighthannualConference ofEducationalSocieties,whichwas heldrecentlyinUniversityCollege, London.Dealingwiththesubject, 'TheMontessoriMethodandtheSubnormalMind,"Mgr.Newsomesaid:-

EarlyDaysatBelfordCourt.

"Duringtheearlysearsofourwork atBesfordCourttherecameovermea growingsenseofthefinalfutilityof ourefforts.Thereweretwosources ofdiscouragement.

"Firstly,therewastheconviction thatourmethodsofimpartingtomentallydefectiveboystherudimentsof anelementaryeducationwerehaphazardandinefficientthoughbasedupon thebestexistingmodels.Consequently,whenourattemptstoachievethe impossibleendedattheageofsixteen wewereabletoproduceatthebesta boywithonlyshadowyattainmentsinsteadofthesubstantialachievements whichthenormalboyhasobtainedat theageofthirteenorfourteen..

"Thesecondsourceofdiscouragementwasthis:Attheageofsixteen, whenamentallydefectiveboywasdischargedasaneducationalcase,hewas stillasindustriallyunfitaswhenheentered.It,therefore,seemedtome thatoursystemofeducationandtrainingwasawasteofmoneyandthat thefinalproductwas,fromtheeducational,industrialandsocialpointof view,butlittlebetterthantheraw materialwithwhichweweresupplied.

AProblemtoSolve.

"Wewerefacedwiththisdilemma,

*Rat,ifwedischargedtheboysatthe ageofsixteenwithmerelysomesort ofelementaryeducation,theywerestill mentaldefectives,and,withoutsome compensatingtraininginadefinite trade,theywalla,asunemployables, speedilybecomewastrels.Onthe otherhand,ifweretainedthemtodo oddjobsabouttheplaceunderthe BoardofControlcertificate,wewere merely themtolife-longincarcerationinsomecustodialcolony whentheybecametoooldtoassociate withtheyoungerpeopleatBesford Court.

"Atthesametime,wewereconvinctsithatbysomescientificallycorrect educationalcourseoftrainingthelimitedabilitiesoftheseboyscouldbe realisedtothefull,andthatinthis way,iftaughtasuitabletrade,they couldbecome,byprolongedandintensivetraining,capableandself-supportingmembersofsociety."

TheSolvingofIt.

Mgr.Newsomethentraced,theintroductionoftheMontessorisystemat BesfordCourt,itsdevelopmentand theconsequentremarkableprogressof theboys,andconcluded:"1amnotaMontessoriteacher.I amnotevenaMontessoripupil.Had Ibeen,Ishouldto-daybeabetter educatedmanthanIam.Unfortunately,Iwasborntoosoon.Iamonly theresidentmanagerofaninstitution, withtheheavyresponsibilityforthe careersandlife-happinessofsometwo hundredandtwentymentallydefective boys.
