The only school near the Cotton Mills, Winona, Miss. A private school taught by Miss. McIntosh, who for several years off and on has conducted it, charging each pupil only one dollar a month. With only ten pupils now the job is not very lucrative. She said it was discouraging, but that many seemed to appreciate it. "What we need is compulsory education and a free school out here, which we may get before long." Children range from six to ten years. One of the ten year old boys said, "Only two more years and I'll be in the mill." Little girls added, "Four years more and I'll be there." They all seemed to feel they would get into the mill as soon as possible.

Wenn ich das lese, betrüben mich die vielen Klagen der Kinder (und Eltern) über die Schule noch mehr ... Danke auch für dieses höchst aufschlussreiche Bild samt dem mich sehr nachdenklich machenden Text, liebe Orianne.
