[PW] Re: Maria Montessori quote

[Dennis Lien]

Google-in-the-book search shows this:

The Montessori Method: a revolution in education - Page v
by E. M. (E. Mortimer) Standing - 1962 - 209 pages
"Who touches the child touches the most sensitive point of a whole which
has roots in the most distant past and climbs toward the infinite future. ...
Snippet view

Can't get beyond the snippet view to see if there's a good citation
attached, and of our two copies of the book, one is in storage and
the other is on another campus.  Perhaps someone else who has the
book to hand can check it.
