Show When to Send Children to Europe. Some people wait so long before sending their children to Europe that the little ones are humiliated by others who have already been there. Every self-respecting parent will be careful not to subject his children to this evident evi-dent injustice; at the same time all unseemly hurry is to be avoided. Some people argue that as soon as a child can walk well and speak a few necessary French words, he should be placed in a stateroom, next to a private bath, and sent to Paris. Others Oth-ers feel that he must naturally lose much at this age, and that the proper time is between five and six, when as an American he has reached his maturity. Probably the ideal age is about four. At four a child can easily do England, France and Italy, and get home in time for the first night at the opera. Judge's Library. |
