INFANT PUPILS
Sir, —It is hardly to the benefit of the average young child to have readmission to schools at the age of five years. A child of five feels the long iiours of restraint both mentally and physically. In the city and suburbs numerous kindergartens, both free and private, are available for children from three to five or six years of age. In these kindergartens the child is catered for by directors especially trained in the care and guidance of the very young. There the child learns, rests and plays, and general development takes place without any conscious effort on the part of the child. Estimable as our prinrary schools undoubtedly are, the attendance is too numerous and the teachers too few for young children to receive the more individual care obtainable in the kindergartens.
