Mrs. l-lowatt. traced the religious and moral education of a child from birth to the end of high school. dividing the period into four phases. first. from birth to two years of age, second, from two years to seven. third from seven to twelve years of age and the fourth from 12 years onward. Of the four the most important was the time from two to seven for if the child sound religious, moral and physical education dur- ing that period it might. be con- sidered three-quarters educated, the speaker said. The principal bur- den of the child's education de- volves on the mothers.
