In my communities, I attempted to arrange a room for a tailor’s with some of the seminarists more capable to perform this skill. It is said that man is not apt to sew, but I experienced this is not absolutely true. Obviously, in case there is no woman in a seminary, there would be the necessity of one who could teach how to manage the laundry and the tailor’s room. In a few days, the young and clever boys will learn accurately. It will be necessary only to buy a sewing machine.
Sembra che l'uomo non impari a cucire, ma a me è risultato diverso. Certo, se in un Seminario non esiste una donna, se ne può assicurare una per un periodo come insegnante, almeno per la lavanderia e per la sartoria, ma in pochi giorni i giovani intelligenti imparano, basta acquistare loro qualche macchina da cucire, e poi fanno a gara.
