The level of the child's neurological and physiological development determines the kinds of learning that can take place. Accordingly, the age at which a particular task should be taught to a child depends on the complexity of the skill, the degree of co-ordination and mental ability involved, and the rate of that particular child's development. A little practice at the appropriate stage of maturation is more effective than a lot when the child is too young.
The city has vegetable canneries, a beet-sugar factory, and manufactures farm machinery. An important occupation is the growing of vegetables and flowers for seed.
