BOSTON, Feb. A marvel OF
child education has been accom-
plished by Mrs. Eliza Taylor Ran
som.
Her daughters. Ruth and Eleanor
went through the ordinary S-year
grammar school course IN two years.
Eleanor. at 10. entered Nassar last
fall. Ruth. at IL. is i'm Tufts Medical
School
Mrs. Ransom, internationally IA
nous as a physician. and formerly
public school teacher, condemns the
existing school system She says
schools ruin children's brains.
"She Not a Prodigy"
They're calling Eleanor pro-
Dizzy" she said. II say she isn't.
Look at my other daughter-she did
the same thing. They can't both be
| prodigies. Anybody can do tho same
thing" This is the way DR.. Ransom
did it:
She didn't send her children TO
school till they were nine years old.
| Meanwhile she taught them 90
read and to add and she taught them
about the observation-disclosures.
grass, soil, rocks, stars. animals.
She taught them to learn by play
/ ing. They had no study hours.
Everything was a game.

veloped at six to begin examining

I Unfortunately there cannot be such

cational system. Many parents aren't

mentally.
schools teach scnseless. things.
And they keep children confined in
rooms and i'm seats and bind them
by rules and regulations and system.
The child would be healthier out
doors.
Graduates of the present scaeol
system are empty-headed. They
grow into mediocre adults. They
can't concentrate; they never learn
how. They have their education
pounded into them. They don'i
learn faster and better because
schooling hasn't been made attrac-
tive TO them
CriticiZes school System.
Mrs. Ransom, who looks more
'motherly" than she does like q
politician, hits straight from tho
shoulder against the present day
school system in spite OF the fact
that her husband is headmaster OF
Boston's largest public school.
