4 THE KALLIKAK FAMILY 



Oct. 'oi.--Has nearly finished outlining a pillow 

 sham. Can do very good work when she tries. 

 ENGLISH. Does better in number work than in- any 

 other branch. Her mind wanders a great deal. In 

 the midst of a lesson, that she has apparently paid a 

 great deal of attention to, she will ask a question that 

 has no bearing on the lesson at all. Is slow to learn. 



Nov. 'oi.--Is very good in number work, espe- 

 cially in addition. Can add 25 and 15. Spells a few 

 words, such as "wind," "blows," "flowers." Writes 

 fairly well from copy if she tries. Her attention is 

 very hard to keep. Is restless in class. Likes to 

 be first in everything. The one thing she does best 

 in school is to add numbers with pegs. Knows about 

 fifteen words, such as "cat," "fan," "run,""man." She 

 could learn more in school if she would pay attention, 

 but her mind seems away off from the subject in dis- 

 cussion. Could play scale of C and F on cornet and 

 would play some by ear if she could have kept up her 

 lessons. Was taken out on account of sore throat. 



Nov. '04. -- Understands how to make bead 

 chains. Has made four. Knows how to use a sew- 

 ing machine. Has made a shirtwaist. Uses tape 

 measure accurately. Can play on cornet four 

 hard band pieces and three solos, also reads at sight 

 easy songs and hymns. Band pieces are : "Attention, 

 March !" "Quick Step Sterling," "Onward, Christian 

 Soldiers," and "Star-spangled Banner." Solos are : 

 "America," "Old Black Joe," and "Onward, Christian 

 Soldiers." Conduct at school, fair.
