letter writing IN German Schools

The class being ranged, with states
and pencils in their hands, the master
propounds subject. " Let me see,"
he will say, 'to-day is market day
You live, we will say, not here, but in

away. Mother sends you to market

go home to her Tonight, and so you
want to write letter. telling her what
you have done. Now then, begin

out little fat whitehaired boy, who
plainly is used to sell his mothers farm

''you are too fast. That's not the way
to begin; we will come to that afte!."
Here several rise and ask to be heard.
A little girl shouts out, My dearmoth-
er!" "No," says the Herr that is
good; it WI come later. Another"
"To-day is Friday" THAT is right,
but there is more to add" AT last it is
settled that the name of the place and
the day of the month, and perhaps the
hour OF the day, if need be, shall all be
set down first, and at the right hand of
the letter betore anything else be done.
Having settled now what is first to be
done, next comes the question how
lit best. The cad of the room has huge
black boards, spOuges and chalk and
towels. with little long rows Of steps icr
the little ones to climb up. The letter
has first to be writ en- out lin draft on
the chalk board, corrected and tiled
finally before it is allowed to be written
with ink OH paper. Now then little
child is cal ed out to write on each board
at the right-hand corner the name
Swallows Brook, the day, Friday, the
date, Sept, 1867.
The arrangemeat of this gives rise TO
variety Of Opt ion and discussion. Shall
/" Swallows Brook" go down at. two
words or one? Shall the second part
part the words? Shall FRIDAY" go be-
low or on the line? Shall we write 20
Sept, or 20 September, or September 20?
Shall we put 1867 below or OH line?
Shall we begin near the top of the board
or lower or moe right or left, and on
three lines, two lines, OF one? At last
the best is settled, and the master asks
the cleverest girl to write down the pat
tern agreed, eating at the right hand
corner, with the proper margin all
round, and this is now copied over on
the slate as the right heading. "My
dear mother" is rightly placed at last,
the same way. and, prelimnaries adj
justed, the real business of the day be-
gins in earnest. My dear mother--I
aid not get into Swallows Brook before
the hand of the clock, On the lower

and so forth. The letter being finished,
revision and criticism begin. Each pu-
pill changes states with her or his neigh.
Dor, who has to pick holes and find fault.
The corrected states are all shown to
the master, who gives the finishing
touch. At last they all sit down to the
desk, take pen and ink, mend their
pens, rule their paper, and write out the
letter fairly on the pa ges of their letter.

reference for any letters of the sort they
