girls takes place in the eighth year. The boys
then are taught all branches Of knowledge consid-

cation of girls In a good family is limited to the
study OF maxims of morality and to the knowledge
of the ceremonies in connection with the religious
cuItus of ancestors; in the huts Of the poor peo-
pie the girls taught only dressmaling and ali
sorts of needlework. AS a matter of fact the
women of the lower class are particularly clever in
