The school, were it able to measure its pupils completely, could abandon the mechanical rule of “Take them at six and shake them at sixteen.” Instead, it could receive them when they were ready to learn and graduate them when they were ready to earn, whatever their calendar age.

We could even tell when the individual supreme court judge, president, senator, congressman, and so on, should retire, be he forty or ninety.
