Accordingly at any leisure moment, before the close of school, each one went with her box to the stationary shelves, which you will see in the corners of the room, where a supply of paper, of all the various sizes, used in school, is kept, and taking out a sufficient number, they supplied all the desks in their respective divisions.
When the time for closing school arrived, I requested each young lady to write the name of her parent or guardian upon the paper, and opposite to it, his place of business. This was done in a minute or two.
"All those whose parent's or guardian's name begins with a letter above m. may rise."
They rose.
"The distributors may collect the papers."
The officers then passed round in regular order, each through her own division, and collected the papers.
"Deliver them at the Accountant's desk."
They were accordingly carried there, and received by the Accountants.
In the same manner the others were collected and received by the Accountants, but kept separate.
"I wish now the second Accountant would copy these in a little book I have prepared for the purpose, arranging them alphabetically, referring all doubtful cases again to me."
