Daisy Littlefield's Homework
(click
to enlarge)
Sometime in the late 1880's Daisy, a
neighbor, visited the house and returned home without some of her schoolwork.
She would have been 13 in 1890. The
penmanship lesson book was copyrighted in 1884 and has 24 pages, but I've
only reproduced one page and the back
cover. Check out the pictures below to see Daisy's homework, examinations
and such (she did well on her tests).
Be sure to check out her views on alcohol in the Science and Temperance paper.
