learn how to make bread; and girls. learn
hos to sharpen knife and white. and
drive nails without splitting the board;
and boys. learn how to hem towels. run
stocking heels. and patch your own trow.
sers: and girls. learn how to grease boots
and wagon -whcels. to lay shingles. and
case the doors when they stick. Keep
your eyes and ears wide open. Learn to
do all sorts of work. And. my words for
it. you will grow hearty and plump, hand
some and happy.
