First, edu@ation is not begun ear! and second, that children are “taught” rather than “educated To “teach” t t t with our y enough, the name of “educat automat sounds a litth plain took his baby boy in t he w I xan 2 yea He started three separate lir velopment First was taught a love of play and phy exertion; then Mrs, Sidus was assigned the dunt ving the child a full normal dose of Mother Goc iry tales and all the babble and prattle of nursery days. The father, then, each day sought not to teach the child anything, lead him to discover for himself | some fact and the relation of that fact to other facts The first course gave thé child a sturdy body and made} him a lover of outdoors and an expert in all childish games. The second course kept him a “baby” and stimulated his im- agination. The third gave him facility in handling t most wonderiul of all tools—the reasoning brain Never in his life has he been told, in answer to a ques tion, that he “wouldn’t understand.” Never has he been told a thing is true “because father says so.” Never has he been given a false or slovenly answer in reply to his childish ques tions. Each time the little mind reached out—whether to ask, “How big is the sun?” or “Why does the kitty have a tail?” a cateful, truthful answer has been given: Sidus found that the “foolish questions” which his boy asked were the same that all children asked, but he saw in them the gropin of the awakening mind, and sought to give them direction purpose and relation ‘The result was that the child, not being held down to the alphabet, “learning to count 10” and a few vague and unre lated facts about the things he saw about him, was as easily interested in history as he was in Mother Goose. He didn't “learn to count 10,” but he learned, by playing domin the relation of numbers (not figures), and his mind was permitted to discover for itself that twice two makes four. They found that a simple book on chemistry was a8 in teresting to the child when he first began to read as was “Aliee in Wonderland.” Not only as interesting, but as un derstandable. There are a lot of things which we think a child is too| young to understand. So we won't explain them. The child, however, is as much interested in a locomotive as he is in a cat, and what interests him he can understand. You don’t believe it, do you?
