School is compulsory at five years of age ; it is permitted at three; and it often begins some months earlier. But there is a space of about two years after the child has begun to talk and run about before the State concerns itself at all about its education. During this period, the child is left to the uncontrolled and unwatched responsibility of its parents. The public shuts its eyes, and hopes that all is going on well. In most cases this close-time of exemption from interference with natural growth and development is good for the child. If it gets wholesome food, however coarse, even though scanty in quantity, it thrives, provided that the first necessity of life is not stinted -- abundance of fresh air. Fresh Air I have seen magnificent children living in hovels condemned as unfit for human habitation, in thewest of Ireland, models of health and vigour. The explanation was that they lived almost entirely in the open air. The children of gipsies and vagrants who live in tents on commons, though filthy and untaught, are far healthier in their free, open-air surroundings than the corresponding class in the slums of the city.
