The American Child

We hear a great deal at the present time concerning the education of the particular child. In the very best of our private schools in the city each pupil is regarded as a separate and distinct individual, and taught as such. This ideal condition of things prevailed in that little district school in the farming region of New Hampshire. That teacher had fourteen pupils; practically, she had fourteen grades. Even when it happened that two children were taught the same lesson, each one was taught it individually.
