Murlul tjardner TWO SCHOOLS OIku Kuchynka Before 1 came to America four years ago. I went to school in Prague Bohemia, which was called Vyssi Divci. I think that you would be interested to know the difference between the two schools. 1 think that many of the American children would not like to go to school there for they are kept under much stricter rules. Both the boys and girls have a different school building, although this is not true in the small villages. The Bohemian children go to school until they are 14 years of age, starting at six in first grade having five years of grade school and three years of high schcol. The pupil then may go to the University, College, or Conservatory, if desired. The work is indescribably different, for they start at an entirely different point. In first grade they begin to use pen and ink. have arithmetic, reading, writing, and many other, things that the Americans do not have until they get to second or third grade. The children go to one grade for ten months, Mrs. Jacobs: Use more elbow grease and less soap. Bright Girl from 311: Mrs. Jacobs, we haven’t any elbow grease at our sink. Miss Blank: Spell “cloth.” Jimmy: (Silent). Miss Blank: Well, what is your coat made of? Jimmy: Father’s old pants. or a school year, getting their report cards every two and a half months. The marking system is also different. 1 is A. 2 is B, and so on. Europe’s schools are not so large nor so beautiful as here, but I think they are just as effective for many an American goes there to complete his education. We find that in Europe the children have much more self control and respect than here. This is shown by their actions toward their elders. Even though the Bohemian schools mean a great deal to me, I would not trade them for Jefferson.
