Excerpt from War Time Occupations: A Manual of Simple Constructive Work Suitable for Home and School
Teacher, teacher, what shall I do? I'm all through, I'm all through; I've finished all I've begun; What shall I do now I've got that done?
So paraphrased a clever teacher the insistent de mands of her pupils for something further to do. Many have been asked, but fewer have answered to wholly mutual satisfaction.
