World War I broke out, The Netherlands succeeded in keeping out of the
struggle; but Queen Wilhelmina found it necessary to remain in The Hague,
the seat of the government, during the four war years. During this period
the Royal Family lived mostly in the "Huis Ten Bosch" (House in the Woods),
a seventeenth-century manor house on the northern outskirts of The Hague.
Princess Juliana's education started when she was nearly six
years old. She entered a private class led by Miss B. Cohen Stuart,
who followed the methods of Jan Ligthart, then Holland's most progressive
educator. The Queen, who had been educated in Victorian style, gave her
daughter a much freer education than she herself had had, just as Queen
Juliana's children now get an education which is even more liberal than
that of most Dutch children.
Princess Juliana's education at home was supervised by Miss
L. P. van de Poll, later on by Baroness Sloet van Marxveld and by her
governess, Miss A. E. van Oosterlee. At the age of four, when she was
considered to have mastered her own language, the Princess was given her
first French lessons by Countess de Montmoulin, one of the Queen's ladies-
in-waiting.

Learned five foreign languages
In the meantime, she learned to ride a horse and a bicycle (in-
dispensable in the flat country of Holland). She also learned to skate,
the most popular winter sport in her canal-intersected country. In 1920,
the well-known Dutch pedagogue, Dr. Johannes H. Gunning, was charged with
the next stage in the Princess' education. He personally taught her
Latin and Greek. Other experts were called to give lessons in French,
German and English, history, geography, constitutional law, economics,
mathematics and physics. For five years she also took violin lessons.
