Tests she has supervised in public schools show that 40 to 60 per cent of the children in American schools aren't ready for DR.

1 following kindergarten, and boys should not enter the first grade until they are six and a half or seven years old." Dr. Ilg pointed, out that Russian children do hot start first grade until they are seven, nor do Scandinavian children. "We could learn much from them," she said. "We think only of the chronological age of the child, and not about his development, his readiness, when we place him in school," she said. "We should consider only his biological age, not his chronological age.

"As a result, there are in school today too many unhappy children who are experiencing failure because they are 'ahead of These children should be and could be successful, though they will never catch up if they don't drop back. These children explain, in great measure, the high rate of drop-outs in ST -V A 1 Jin ry box of 1 2 WESI041E CENTER, 1710 Weil Market SI. 'x'-4 Xf STATE ROAD Shopping Center high school." Dr. Ilg sees the same pressures at work in higher grades. She does not believe in junior high schools.

"The 12 and 13-year-olds, or your seventh and eighth graders, are pushed too fast socially, and they run wild. The ninth graders, the 14-year-olds, adore junior high because they are ready for it."

A facile mind, colleges are, discovering, can pass a college board high, but often won't come through for long range, top performance." On homework: She thinks the first half of most classes are spent going over last night's homework, and the second half going over tonight's homework.

"As a result," she said, "there is very little real teaching being done in our schools." On family vacations: "Eighteen-year-olds, whether boys or girls, shouldn't be forced to go on family vacations if they don't want to. At 18 they should have Summer jobs. We must provide full Summers for our teen-agers. They hate to be inactive." On co-education: Dr. Ilg believes in it, but thinks that there should be some separation between boys and girls, especially around the age of 11.

"I think," she said, "that they should sit on opposite sides of the room from each other. They distract each other, and the group works better this On permissive parenthood: "Thank goodness, the practice is passing, though we learned much from it, mainly that both the child and the parents are very unhappy. "Children need the safety, the security of bounds and authority." On Dr. Ilg thinks it's an over-used word and an over-used practice. "Children need gates on the doors of their rooms at certain ages for separation and safety.

They need their own space to live in. A young child's world can be fairly well limited to his room, the bathroom, the kitchen, and his play area outdoors. A child should be invited into the living room, not think of it as his domain, and he should be under supervision when he is in the living room." Child-Rcaring Is An Art "PARENTS' she said, in concluding, "should look upon child-rearing as an art, which indeed it is. Above all, they should enjoy their children, they shouldn't be so serious, and they should guard their sense of fun and sense of humor. "They should remember that while their 11 year-old hates to cut his own lawn, he loves to cut the neighbors' lawns.

There should be some sort of an exchange system for 11-year-olds, because they are so wonderful every place but at home. "I think, on the whole, that we should hold our children back in the future. We have been over-emphasizing the gifted child, we have been pushing our children, with the result that the drop-outs in high school can be directly traced to the pressures put on them in the early grades." loneleii-Cubee'-lraeo'ee' nalai-lfaada4-Nrmal O.luiout Cuarif Ttnaar 17c 21c VEAL STEAKS i7c VEAL CHOPS CUBE STEAKS ea. a.
