64 THE CORN LADY 



scrubbed the schoolhouse several times, and 

 every Friday night I try to give it an extra 

 good cleaning. So we are just as homelike 

 and cozy as can be in our school room dur- 

 ing these cold winter days. They are almost 

 over now, though, and I am almost sorry, 

 for what if the big boys should have to drop 

 out of school soon to help with the spring 

 work? 



I was so glad to know r from your last 

 letter that you and mother liked the way I 

 was working. I do want so much to really 

 do something for these country children. 

 Sometimes it seerns to me as though I had 

 done very little when I think how much there 

 is that should be done. 



Lovingly your 



COUNTRY TEACHER.
