Twenty Years Ago at the Village School
A collection of reminiscences from the past twenty years featuring boys’ games under the same tree at the school grounds, memories tied to the old wall and spring, and a look at how benches and graffitied names endure while paths and people change. Also brief items: a coffin prank in St Louis, Maximilian’s plan to educate tribes’ youths in Mexico, Rev Isaac’s smoking habit, a quip about an old man with his pipe, and news that telegraph wires are now allowed in Morocco.
Female Education in Germany and Domestic Skills Highlighted
A traveler notes German women educated through kitchen duties and servant posts, with bias toward economy, order, and household management. The piece cites royal training, and contrasts with an anecdote about glass turning on a lathe and a tavern mishap observed by Chambers. It also mentions Kit Carson, a Russian fashion of marriage dowries, and news of Prince and Napoleon in Paris.
