FATHER DYRNE'S LECTURE

AT UNIVERSITY.

A most informative address on Dr. Montessori's plonder work in educative reform was delivered nat night by Father G. Byrne, S. J., to a gathering of the University Education Society.

Father Byrne entitled his lecture "A lady doctor opens the class- room windows." He said:

Some years ago, at a meeting of the National Association of School- masters in England, a resolution was passed that all boys over seven should be taught exclusively by men. In the discussion on 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 suit and one and one-half to two and one- half quick tricks. If your auit is 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 overcali There are few Ideas in the educa with a two bid and have only ational world, which we are inclined four card suit, your quick trick re- to call modern, that have not been quirement is two tricks.

We talk If partner was the dealer and about education of the senses, about passed, and then your right hand self-activity as if they wore now opponent opened the bidding with ideas.

responds to soundness of body, so that the healthier organism ensures superior intellectual attainment."

When opponents open with a auit that you have atopped 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 no 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 wo are dealing strictly with the straight forcing system.

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.

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 biddable suit. This shows part- ner a strong hand and even though the hand is trickless, ho is required

There is a very modern ring about those words. We may find similar idens 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 windowel It is would open the
