School is good fun as far as play goes ; but I do n't see the sense of making a fellow learn eighty questions in geography one day , and forget them the next . `` What is to become of me , please ? '' asked Jill , meekly . `` You and Molly are to have lessons here . I was a teacher when I was young , you know , and liked it , so I shall be school-ma ` am , and leave my house-keeping in better hands than mine . I always thought that mothers should teach their girls during these years , and vary their studies to suit the growing creatures as only mothers can . `` That will be splendid ! Will Molly 's father let her come ? '' cried Jill , feeling quite reconciled to staying at home , if her friend was to be with her . `` He likes the plan very much , for Molly is growing fast , and needs a sort of care that Miss Dawes can not give her . I am not a hard mistress , and I hope you will find my school a pleasant one . '' `` I know I shall ; and I 'm not disappointed , because I was pretty sure I could n't go to the old school again , when I heard the doctor say I must be very careful for a long time . I thought he meant months ; but if it must be years , I can bear it , for I 've been happy this last one though I was sick , '' said Jill , glad to show that it had not been wasted time by being cheerful and patient now . `` That 's my good girl ! '' and Mrs. Minot stroked the curly black head as if it was her own little daughter 's . `` You have done so well , I want you to go on improving , for care now will save you pain and disappointment by and by . You all have got a capital start during these six weeks , so it is a good time to begin my experiment . If it does not work well , we will go back to school and college next spring . '' `` Hurrah for Mamma and the long vacation ! '' cried Jack , catching up two big books and whirling them round like clubs , as if to get his muscles in order at once .
`` Now I shall have time to go to the Gymnasium and straighten out my back , '' said Frank , who was XXXXX so tall he needed more breadth to make his height symmetrical .
