FATHER BYRNE'S LECTURE
AT UNIVERSITY,
A most informative address on Dr. Montessori's pioneer work in educative, reform was delivered last night by Father G. Byrne, S. J., to a gathering of the Univeraity Education Society.
Father Byrne entitled his lecture "A lady doctor opens the class-1 room windows." He said:
Some years ago, at a meeting of the Nation Association of School. masters in England, a resolution Was passed that all boys over savan should be taught exclusively by men. In the iliscussion of the mo- tion someone appealed to brutal statistics: it was impossible; there were not enough men teachers to do it. I do not remember the de- tails of the discussion, but I am sure that an examination of wo- man's energetic work in educational reform was not in the forefront. Yet, it ought to have been.
If your right hand opponent is the dealer and opens the bidding, you should overcall If you hold at least a biddable four card sult and one and one-half. to two and one- half quick tricks. If your suit in a good biddable five-card suit, the total quick trick requirement of your hand need not be over one and one-half tricks, or if you are able to overcall the opponents' original bid with a bid of one you can do
It is much easier to discover the so with a four-card biddable suit pioneer in the realm of execution and one and one-half quick tricks. than in the realm of thought. But if you are forced to overcall Thore are few ideas in the educa with a two bid and have only ational world, which we are inclined four card mult, your quick trick no- quirement is two "tricks.
If partner was the dealer and passed, and then your right hand opponent opened the bidding with a suit, you must remember that your partner has denied holding two and one-half quick tricks and therefore you should hold at least two to two and one-half quick tricks to make an overcall. Other- wise you may get doubled and set for a large penalty, or you may force the opponents into a game- going declaration. Remember that if you hold only one and one-half quick tricks and partner has pasa- ed, there cannot be over three and one-half quick tricks in your two hands and it le quite probable that your opponents have a game-going declaration.

When opponents open with a Buit that you have stopped twice and you hold two quick tricks and no biddable suit of your own, you should overcall with one no trump, While the writer advocates a trump overcall with definite quick trick requirements and a strong Informatory double, this will be ex- plained to you in later articles. At the present time we are dealing strictly with the straight forcing Bystem.
In supporting partner's overcall or following bid, remember that he may be bidding on a hand a great deal weaker than is required for an original bid, therefore you should hold one more trick to support partner than is necessary to support an original bid.
to call modern, that have not been enunciated long ago. We talk about education of the senses, about self-activity as if they were, now ideas. In the thirteenth century St. Thomas Aquinas, in a treatise On The Teacher, insists on the tea- mental cher's knowledge of the processes, the functions of the senses, emotions, feelings to assist the pupil in the unfolding of his young powers, for learning is "growth in self-activity. It is no mere imparting; it is rather sug- gestion and direction, by which the mind la prompted to exert its na- tural power in the normal ways. Senses, imagination, memory operate. Indeed they account for mental individual differences in
mind cor- capacity. Vigour of responds to soundness of body, so that the healthier organism ensures superior intellectual attainment.'

There Is a very modern ring about those words. Wo may find similar ideas repeated by Locke in his Thoughts Concerning Education, or
in Rousseau's Emile. But, somehow, when we enter the class- rooms, we find them heavy with the hot air of theory and we begin to wish that some practical teacher would open the windowsl It is just here that a woman has often come to the gene and made us realise that when an idea, whether political or religious, goes down from the mind of man to the heart of a woman, and becomes a senti- ment-thought inspired by feeling -its power to resist all opposition and to triumph over every difficulty, is increased a hundredfold. Is not this the reason that Rousacau says in Emile "Men will always be what women wish them to be."
Informatory Doubles, When your right hand opponent makes an original bid of one and your hand contains from three to three and one-half quick tricks, you should make an informatory double even though you may hold u biddable suit. This shows part- ner a strong hand and even though the hand is trickless, he is required to take this double out if the left hand opponent passes. However, the press termed her "rib-factory"
One would like to be able to trace the work of women like Sta. Lioba, Thecla, Walburga of the 8th cen tury, or of Dodana, Odilia, Hilde- garde bringing us up to the 12th, and compare it with the efforts of more recent workers, like Mary Lyon whose courage triumphed over the public ridicule of what
