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). [Webster 1913 Suppl.] Monteth Monteth (gcide) Monteth \Mon*teth"\, Monteith \Mon*teith"\, n. A vessel in which glasses are washed; -- so called from the name of the inventor.
