ABSTRACT

Do you blame us little animals, literally aching for the freedom of kittens, puppies, and lambs, if we demand of our teachers at least five minutes gymnastic or play-exercises at the end of every hour and a few full breaths of God’s pure air? Especially when you remember that soon it will not be proper for little girls any longer to romp out of doors, with the boys; indeed it will be exceedingly unladylike; for then we must turn up our hair, lengthen our frocks, put on corsets, and ‘we can’t be “Tomboy” any longer’.
