So they brought Three-Year-Old Who Knows 1,800 Words Not Extraordinary. (G. M. Whipple, in the American Maga zine. "T believe tnat most parents greatly under-estimate the number of words that are used by their children, ine only way to get a child's speaking vo cabulary is to go after it witn pencil and paper and religiously-to set down the words, one by one, not for a day or for several days, but for several weeks. ... "When during the course of a oinner table conversation, I asked how many neighborhood of words an ordinary every-aay, tnree-year-old boy could use, the first of my friends guessed 150 woras. ma esu-i mate was greeted with derision by the other, who declared: ! " 'Oh. pshaw! Fifty words wouia cov er the vocabulary of the brightest three-year-old you ever knew. "Needless to add that my assertion that my own youngster at the age ac tually used, by count, 1,771 different words was the occasion, or pome iu- credulity and jocose commiseration of the fond but deluded parent. "However, this vocabulary is on rec ord in detail. (Pedagogical Seminary.) and the inquisitive reader may learn there that it is by no means the largest vocabulary that has been reported, though to be sure profcaDly aDove me average performance. In the 20-odd published vocabula ries we find that children from 16 to 19 months are using from 60 to 232 Trrrris- that 2-vear-old children are using from 115 to 1,227 words and that j the vocabulary increases rapiuiy that time on. It is perfectly safe to as sert that the average 8-year-old child makes u&e of 1,000 words. The present vocabulary was assem bled in the following manner: We first prepared 26 blank sheets, one for each letter, and for 10 days prior to his third birthday recorded words as fast as we heard "them used. We next add ed those words which we knew had been tised previou&ly, but which had not chanced to appear during this rec ord. In each instance we framed up conversation that, would involve the iiso oi it oi me wuiu'iu h"""" order to make sure that the wora was. still known and could be propeny used.- "Finally we turned to the several published vocabularies of children and found a large number of words that had not been recorded by either of the first two methods. These were similar ly tested before they were included. "Even after all these devices had been exhausted, we doubtless missed a number of words, as several terms appeared during the next few weeks which were thought to be third-year terms, so that the 1,771 words which are recorded represent a minimal vo cabulary, and the actual number of words known and used by R prior to his third birthday is probably in the 1,800."
