THE AGE FOR SCHOOL
FIVE YEARS TOO YCUUC. DANCER OF OVER-TAXING. EMINENT SURGEON’S OPINION.
(Per Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 9.5 a.m.) LONDON, October 21. Dr. Savage, surgeon at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, expresses the opinion that a child of five years is too young to commence school. The brain is not in a condition to learn until the age of seven years. Children were often overtaxed, and this accounted for a lot of trouble. He would refuse to allow his child to attend school until it was seven, even if the authorities fixed the age at five.
