SCHOOL GIRLS A CENTURY AGO.

NOME one has lust written sThe Chronicles of Pho
y neer School, and has painted delightful picture
of one popular girls schools Of colonial days
The graduates of the Female Academy conducted by Miss
Sarah PIERCE everywhere considered perfect ladies
and models of good behavior and education
Miss Sarah had her rules all written out, that her
pupils had no excuse for not knowing what proper
for them to do. These rules have come down to us
hundred years later in this book and in spite of their
prim 'sprunes and prisms' style, they could be well
copied by the school girls of today:
''You must in 60 out of the school IN
quiet genteel manner you must not talk laugh loud IN
the street, wrote Sarah and who this one
rule is not Just as needed today it hun
dred years ago9
'tYou must not your party dresses or any
handsome lace neither your best hats shaws to school
s'You must not write careless note OF any careless
writing (Oh who among the girls thinks OF that
todayf) You must write a composition, once in fort
night of two hundred words You must write at least
thirty good lines week"
And as a reward for good behavior, due observ-
ance rules precisely set down, the
promise is made: ga reward will be given to those
who do not waste any money books, clothes paper or
quilts during the term to those who have their duties
performed the proper time; to those who have not
been peevish homesick impote; to those who always
attend meeting church, to those who write care
lessy."
More than likely the girls who graduated from this
old time Female Academy were wofuly lacking in
knowledge of the "higher branches that readily
the tongues of the high school and college gradu-
of today but nevertheless these few rules set for
their guidance might be protably observed by their
great grand daughters Of today.
