Editor Young People's Department:

I am a girl 12 years old.  I go to school every day.  My teacher a name is Eleanor downing.  My studies are reading, arithmetic, geography, history, grammar, spelling, music, writing, philosophy and some drawing.  I have three brothers and one sister.  Their names are George, Juhl, Paul and Emma.  My papa takes the Register, and I like to read the young people's page.
