TOO YOUNG AT FIVE
SEVEN SHOULD BE SCHOOL AGE. MEDICAL VIEW LONDON. Oct. 21. Dr. Savage, surgeon at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, expresses the opinion that a child of five is too young to commence school. Its brain is not in a condition to learn until it is seven years old. Children are often over-taxed. This accounted for a lot of trouble. He would refuse to allow a child to attend school until seven, even if tlio authorities fixed the age at five.
