is worth while; in SO far, however, as
it is merely mass of words about ex-
perience. it is worse than useless.
There is another danger in the con-
centrated learning theory of bringing
up children. The most valuable part
of the child's education during the
early years, so far as the school
is concerned, has to do with
learning how to get along with
other chii5ren-with other people,
that is. And this is the chief adj
vantage of the kindergarten or school
during these years. The problem of
the adjustment of the individual to the
group, and from this the individuals
discovery of his own personality, is
the most significant part of education.
We are likely to have the choice be-
tween more individual instruction and
rapid progress of a kind, and more
group activities with slower learn
ing" When we are confronted with
this choice, it is well for us to realize
that the child needs more experience
with the external world, including
other people. This he needs not only
as a foundation for the concepts and
distractions and the lofty ideals we
usually val8 in learning" but he
needs it quite as much as means of
getting outside himself. Richard gets

Lived in Historic Era.

Marie de Rabutin Chantal, known
to the world as Nine. Sevigne, is sup
posed to have been born in Burgundy,
at the chateau Of Boubilly, in 1926,
though both date and place are some
what obscure. In 1914 she married
Marquis de Sevigne. Her unhappy
marriage was terminated by the death
of the marquis seven years afterward
in a duel. The young widow then de-
voted herself entirely to her children.
When her daughter was married to
Marquis de Grignan, the consequent
separation caused the correspondence,
which although not intended for pub
LEGATION, made her name celebrated,
for she associated with the principal
actors in the Civil war of the Fronde.

TRAINING Tl))ATS
BOYS and GIRLS
What the Little Ones Should
Learn, and How.
FORCING SYSTEM IS WRONG
Differences Between Information,
knowledge and Wisdom, and the
Value of Experience as a
Teacher of Children.
BY sIDoNlE M. GUTENBERG.

rs 1T not true that every parent
j wishes to give his children the full
benefit of all the accumulated wisdom
of the past? And it is quite natural
for parents to do so, since they are
old enough to realize how wasteful it
is for the child to get all his expert
ence at first hand. To learn, and learn.
and learn, while children are still
young and capable of learning; to
learn while they are still young and
quite incapable of doing anything
else worth while-that would seem to
be the ideal life for children. Yes,
by all means, have the children learn.
But learn what? And learn how?
These questions do not seem to have
received quite SO much attention as
they really deserve. We have been
so overawed by the vastness of the
worlds learning, and we have been so
conscious of the fact that the heap is
constantly growing, that we have al
lowed ourselves to look upon the
knowledge of the ancientS as a sacred
treasury that must be preserved at all
cost, and that must be injected into
children to the limit of their capaci-
ties.
Without in any way disparaging the
value of accumulated experience, 1t is
fair to ask whether we have been al
together wise in our pursuit Of learn
ing-for the children's sake. Is it
not true that we have too readily ac-
cepted the written word as something
worth while in itself? Have we not
too commonly confused information
with knowledge, and knowledge with
wisdom?
In recent years there seems to have
been a wave of frantic fear among
many conscientious parents that the
prevailing methods of instruction are
too slow to give the children all of the
needed learning. Or perhaps it has
been a keen realization of the tremen-
dOus store that has to be gathered in
a few short years. AT any rate there
has been an eager searching for
method of filling the children's knowl-
edge reservoirs more expeditiOusly
and more compactly. So we have the
monstrous sight of three-year-old girl
reading and of six-year-old COM
posing poetry.
1t is not to be denied that the world
is quite full of a number of things,
many of which are worth understand
ing. 1t is also true that if you catch
a child young you may get more into
him before he escapes than you could
if you delayed your capture. But just
what good does. it do child of eight

dren of eight have done? Of course,

rule most successfully, first as prince
and later as king, for more than half a
century.

Struction of the famous Trajan bridge
across the Danube at this point, the

Indicated by the fact that after more

The remains of this famous work were
not discovered until 1884, the honor Of
the find being credited to Michael Jo-
seph Quin, who made a systematic
search for the piers while accompany

Szechenyi, on one Of his journeys down

richment of his knowledge about
things. But most noticeable and most,
valuable is the fact that he has lost
self-consciousness and has gained in
control of self in relation to Others.
1t has been found that where chill
dren are given an abundance of con-
crete experience with things of nature
and of the shop and studies, and with
each other, while the reading and
writing was postponed, they soon
caught up on the learning side, and
were healthier and happier than the
book-fed children. There are other
ways of learning than the RS system,
and there are more important things
for the child to get than any book can
give him. But most important of all,
the book learning serves at its best on
a foundation of genuine experience
with life's realities.
