Description
Ruth Martin Carvill's essay on "Why it is good to work" in which she enumerates the value of hard work. She mentions the Duke of Wellington, Lord Tennyson, Florence Nightingale in the Crimean War, Mrs. Beecher Stowe (who wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin), and each German Emperor as examples of rich people who worked. She ends with a piece of poetry from Elizabeth Browning. Teacher's grade and comments on the essay: ++3 "Only the first page is entirely to the point" Teacher's grade and comments on the drawings: 3. "Your pictures are very good as pictures but not as illustrations. Illustrations should help to drive home some thought or statement in the writing." & "I like this best" Left page: watercolors of a book and some sort of ball with a yarn frame above it? By, Ruth Martin Carvill.
