8、d in a newspaper, and there rises a trendiness of job-quitting mothers determined to devote to their childrens bringing-up, nobody can draw a conclusion with confidence that children should be taught at home or at any childrens institutions. There are many different children and every one may requir
9、e education suitable only for him. And I would take the ground that for most children the best place for learning about life is in the childrens institutions or schools.In the first place, there is no denying that contacts between children of the same age are essential for the growth of children.
