larger room where a class of little ones were reciting Geography. How eagerly they held up their hands to say they could answer. After we had been there a few minutes another lady teacher came and sat at the Piano and began to play and instantly, just like little generals, the children all came marching in for closing exercises. They sang some beautiful pieces, and recited questions in Arithmetic just as fast as they could be asked. The teacher had the scholars ask each other questions part of the time. One piece they sang was like this - all raised their hands over their heads and then suiting the action to the words sang, "One finger and one thumb keep moving One finger and one thumb keep moving. We do, we do, we do -" then two fingers and one thumb then 4 then unclear fin., 2 thumbs, 2 hands, keep moving? their fingers thumbs hands and one foot - again unclear head It was very pretty to see, more than 300 doing it. But i will say good bye now I'll write to Maggie soon.
