Abstract/Notes: "...In terms of instructional methodology, Belgium has had a particularly interesting history. It has gone through three distinct phases of education as far as pre-school is concerned. From 1890 until about 1927 Frobel was a very strong influence in Belgian pre-schools, and most of the training was done with his methods.

Abstract/Notes: Appealing for workers to train for the White Cross work, Miss Irma Weill yesterday addressed the City Teachers' club on the need of such in Belgium to educate the many orphan children who do not have the opportunities of home life. For those who are willing to go across the waters of the Atlantic to do this work, the Montessori school offers to give 10 months intensive training for the teachers. There is a big field in this line of endeavor in reconstructing civilization after the visitation of the barbarians and Miss Weill's appeal will likely result in response here. Two interesting features of the business session included arrangements for the Teachers' club to share in the Teachers' Institute to be held here the first week in November. One of the three days' sessions will be featured by a tea and reception given by the city educators. Salaries of pedagogues was also an engrossing subject.
