School is splendid. Last week I was moved up to almost the advanced class and I like it fine. I am already learning a lot. I am head of all the classes I am in except mental arithmetic, but I am head in arithmetic when I write it down. I am the only girl in this class. The schoolmaster, Mr. Reid, moved me from the primary classes where I first was placed. He said it was because I could already read and write and I needed to be challenged. So now I am the only girl in a class with four boys. We are all taking Latin and Mr. Reid said it was all the better that we are so few as we would get his full attention.
When I went to school this Monday week there were only two of us present in our class so Mr. Reid just gave us the names of our books to purchase and copies of the lessons we were to have today and let us go at 10:00 am. It was like another holiday for us.
The school is getting a lot of new books and regulations and all the rest so we are not very certain of things yet. I asked Uncle John and he said Pa had given him some money. Uncle John gave it to me so that I could buy the books I needed at the town bookstore. I liked going shopping there and everyone said hello and how were my Pa and Ma. I like it fine living in town.
