There are extremists n the bringing
up of children, just as in everything else.
Some parents rear their offspring others
merely raise them. Some believe that
every child is a law unto himself. Others
are OF the opinion that he can be timed
and tabulated according TO somebody's
system, from his first tooth to his beard
One OF the latter kind came into the IL
brary not long ago and said: my baby
is months old and / think it's time he
is knowing his right and left hand. Have
you a book that would tell me how to go
about teaching hlm7"
The experience of others is always vail
liable. Some interesting books of this
sort for parents are How Shall Ny Child
Be Taught?' by Hopkins; Child Traiu-
ing as an Exact Science" ny Jacoby;
'The Conservation Of the Child" by
