SCHUMANN'S BIRTHPLACE.

SCHUMANN AS A YOUTH.
What do you think the Father and Mother of Robert Schumann wanted him to be when he was grown up?
A lawyer!
Robert was the youngest of five children, full of fun and up to all kinds of games. He went to school and became especially fond of reading plays.
He also loved to write little plays and to act them out on the stage that his Father had built for him in his room. So he and his companions could give their plays in their own theatre.
