Syn: Conflict; combat; battle; encounter; shock; struggle;

disagreement; strife.
Usage: Contest, Conflict, Combat, Encounter. Contest
is the broadest term, and had originally no reference
to actual fighting. It was, on the contrary, a legal
term signifying to call witnesses, and hence came to
denote first a struggle in argument, and then a
struggle for some common object between opposing
parties, usually one of considerable duration, and
implying successive stages or acts. Conflict denotes
literally a close personal engagement, in which sense
it is applied to actual fighting. It is, however, more
commonly used in a figurative sense to denote
strenuous or direct opposition; as, a mental conflict;
conflicting interests or passions; a conflict of laws.
An encounter is a direct meeting face to face. Usually
it is a hostile meeting, and is then very nearly
coincident with conflict; as, an encounter of opposing
hosts. Sometimes it is used in a looser sense; as,
``this keen encounter of our wits.' --Shak. Combat is
commonly applied to actual fighting, but may be used
figuratively in reference to a strife or words or a
struggle of feeling. Contestable

Montessori Method
Montessori Method Mon`tes*so"ri Meth"od (Pedagogy)
A system of training and instruction, primarily for use with
normal children aged from three to six years, devised by Dr.
Maria Montessori while teaching in the ``Houses of
Childhood' (schools in the poorest tenement districts of
Rome, Italy), and first fully described by her in 1909.
Leading features are freedom for physical activity (no
stationary desks and chairs), informal and individual
instruction, the very early development of writing, and an
extended sensory and motor training (with special emphasis on
vision, touch, perception of movement, and their
interconnections), mediated by a patented, standardized
system of ``didactic apparatus,' which is declared to be
``auto-regulative.' Most of the chief features of the method
are borrowed from current methods used in many institutions
for training feeble-minded children, and dating back
especially to the work of the French-American physician
Edouard O. Seguin (1812-80).
