"Give me a child until he is six, f and anyone else may have him after that," was the.- conten tion of ; the early Jesuits; accord ing to Mr. Taylor. . i "When Freud began his investi gations ; of unconscious motives, he laid emphasis on the earlier life, even the prenatal life, as an Influence, on the later life- of the child. "The school of the psychoanal yst stress the earlier infancy' as of great importance. , "Watson,, and bis following of behaviorists, held the same view point. "Here we have three groups, of entirely different character from the early Jesuits, who have reached approximately the same conclusion r j-.. i . '.;.; . In the early life of a child, Mr. Taylor declared, , it gains about twice its own' weight, and three and one half its own length. In the prenatal period;- the' child gains 350 million times its weight and 250,000 times its own length. The older' the child grows, the longer it takes,: him' to grow an equal and ; proportionate amount. Investigation, asserted Mr. Tay lor, brings forth the conviction that a parallel exists in the men tl growth of the ; child.. "The period from birth to six years of age is probably three times as 'great as from six to" 18 in its proportionate share of men tal growth and development," Mr. IajrlorJd The preschool . period probably the most -important, ; he declared to be the most, neglected. , The average parent thinks the; child "too young" and holding fast to the doctrine of .'.'hands off." ...
