Girls are very stuck up and dignefied in their maner and be have your.
They think more of dress than anything and like to play with dowls and
rags. They cry if they see a cow in a far distance and are afraid of
guns. They stay at home all the time and go to church on Sunday. They
are al-ways sick. They are always funy and making fun of boy’s hands
and they say how dirty. They cant play marbels. I pity them poor
things. They make fun of boys and then turn round and love them. I dont
beleave they ever kiled a cat or anything. They look out every nite and
say oh ant the moon lovely. Thir is one thing I have not told and that
is they al-ways now their lessons bettern boys.
From Mr. Edward Channing’s recent article in _Science_:
The marked difference between the books now being produced by French,
English, and American travelers, on the one hand, and German explorers,
on the other, is too great to escape attention. That difference is due
entirely to the fact that in school and university the German is
taught, in the first place to see, and in the second place to
understand what he does see.
