In the very best of our private schools in the city each pupil is regarded as a separate and distinct individual, and taught as such. This ideal condition of things prevailed in that little district school in the farming region of New Hampshire. That teacher had fourteen pupils; practically, she had fourteen ""grades."" Even when it happened that two children were taught the same lesson, each one was taught it individually.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
