Educational Contrast Hits French Curriculum Change
The Pall Mail Gazette notes a shift in French schooling toward mothering duties taught to educated maids in normal colleges. A Vaugirard garden coach symbolizes the new regime, teaching graceful entry to a carriage, poised seating, and refined skirt management as part of a broader emphasis on grace over race. The piece juxtaposes this with older schooling focused on samplers and departments. It cites jokes from the Boston Transcript about gadgetry and a quip on Grover Cleveland opposing women’s clubs and suffrage.
