A POPULAR GIRL: A Tale of School Life in Germany. With six Illustrations by Jessie Wilson. By MAY BALDWIN. 3/6
A bright and naturally told story of school-girl life in Germany, in which the contrasts with school life in this country are strongly brought out. The heroine, a good-looking, clever English girl, in a high-class school in Munich, meets with a smart American girl who sins against many of the written and unwritten laws of etiquette by her pranks and the freedom of her manners and speech; yet all the while she is exceedingly liberal, good-hearted, and well-intentioned, and a good friend of the heroine, whom she shields from blame in connection with an act which led to disastrous consequences. The lady principal, Fräulein Luise, one of the best of women, cautions the heroine about her over-anxiety to be the best girl scholar; in spite of this she works openly and secretly for this end, which is gained at the expense, for a time, of her health and memory. It is while the heroine is at death's door that she learns a lifelong lesson that goodness is by far of more importance than cleverness.
