Over-Education a curse.

But, some one asks, how can you
ever expect boy to graduate from
college or university If his education
does not begin until he is 10 years Of
age? He will be far too old.
First ! answer that the curse of
modern child-life in America is over
education. For the first ten years of
this, the most sensitive and delicate,
the most pitable life in the world, /
would prepare it, The properly pre-
pared child will make such progress
that the difference in time of gradua-
ton is not likely to be noticeable;
but, even if it should be a year or
two later, what real difference would
1t make? DO we expect a normal
plant to begin bearing fruit in a few
weeks after it is born? 1t must have
time, ample time, to be prepared for
the work before it. Above all else.
