Speaking of the tendency to

"In 1890 there were only

dren, I'm 1900 there were 1850
adults per 1000 children and
1t is estimated that today the
proportion is two adults to
every child. Efforts must there
fore be made lest children be
overwhelmed by an environ
ment planned mainly for the
convenience of their elders"
The school should be reorgan-
lied with the object of making
the child an individual in his
own right, rather than a unit in
a cut-and-dried academic system,
