text_original: The head mistress shook her head. "That would not be practical; you see, it isn't in the Syllabus." I don't pretend to understand the inwardness of syllabuses, but I couldn't help wondering if there wasn't an opening here for a new one. While so much unpractical stuff is taught to the poorer classes in elementary schools, is it any wonder that the children know so little of the things appertaining to daily life?
