Never Treated Child Like a Baby. “I have never treated her like a baby,” explained the mother Mrs. Win- ifred Sackville Stoner. “I have always talked to her as if she could under- stand me, from the time that she was a day old. 1 have never talked baby tallk, and I have always borne in mind the fact that she is a human being who would have tolive in the world, and that since léarning is far easier and pleasanter than not learning she might better start at once to learn.” Mrs. Stoner is a large, exuberantiy hiealthy woman, abounding i energy, in ideas and in a quick grasp of situa- tions and issues, which gave her the courage and ingenuity to learn frem ithe cat and. its kitten' and to carry over the advantages . of the Indian method of education into our methods, which she believes are found and distorted by superstition and restrict- ed by mandates of unknowing physi- cians. “It has generally been considered dangerous for a child to learn. It has been thought that to use its mind would upset the child’s nervous sys- tem and impair its physical being. This is false. Every child is a trinity —mental, physical and moral. None should be neglected. Stimulating Child Not Harmful. “It is' true that the paysical is the most important, but that 1s no reason for refusing to the child the other es- ‘ntials. To stimulate a child's mind is not harmful. To force a child's at- tention is the only dangerous thing. Physicians would put a child in a dark | room and let it sleep. 1 They would not allow the child to be amused, they would utterly prevent tne training of . its senses, and all in the name' of the child’s health. sleep more than it wants. It may pass iis waking moments in a state of healthful interest, and at the same time learn those things wnich will help him in his after life.” Mrs. Stoner than told of the manner in #&hich Winifred, Jr., of ‘whom Dr. M. V. O’Shea, famous educator, said, “The typical college graduate knows less and can do less than nis girl can dao, acquired rudiments of her re- markable education in the languages.

Tler sysfem is one which aims at the development of the supernormal. “We have scheols for the abnormal, and schools for the average, [ am thinking or the super- normal. No child is an average child. 1f they are trained correctly they may all be prodigies. in the present sense of the word. That will give us our ligher race. “Just think of the infant prodigies that history mentions. Julius Caesar, who was startling at the age of three. Also Confucius—and children who ac- complished wonders at four years are numerous. Milton wrote Latin verse, and Pope Greek stanza John Stuart Mill tells us how hig father set him to tasks requiring prodigious concen- tration and critical judgment at the age of five and six. Emanuel Kant had a large class of pupils at the age of seven. These people are all excep- tions, but they should not be. They have merely taken advantage of the sponge-like quality of the mind, which ag Willlam Jamesg says, lasts up to the age of twelve, All Memorizing Before Twelve Years oud. “All the great memorizing should be done before this period, and the strong foundation for all future learn- ing laid then. And all should be taught naturally, So many things are of interest to the child that there should be no waste of time. And learning should not be put off merely for the sake of putting it off.

And in all of these she teaches the chifldren how to play, and teaches them more e an most people ean faney. There are five principles of cduca- tion, and here the children “acquire.’ them in actual tuition of two hours a day. “‘Observation, intense interest, concentration, fmitation and expora- tien. "These five attributes belong to cducation. Once a child has learned them it has acquired what our educa- tional institutions primarily and fun- damentally desire for it.” During the ) renfainder of the day, while the child | is not at school, it has acquired enough helpful play material . with which to occupy its attention until the next period. “Public School Systems Wrong.” “The public school systems are all wrong. They get the child when It is far. too old, ang suddenly, without any previous training on the part of the child, attempt to force Xnowledge into its mind and demand attention to subjects which are not interesting to it. If children do not 1ove school that is the fault of the chjld, bhut which teach him not what he wants, but only wnat he do not wanf.
