Excerpt from Le Livre de Mon Ami: Le Livre de Pierre The boarding school of Mlle. Lefort shows also, in a way that all school boys will relish, what a French kindergarten was, fifty years ago. The queer types of teachers that helped to form the mind of M. France in the classes of the old College Stanislas, in the early sixties, live before us in sketches so true to life that every one who has gone through a French college will recognize in them pictures of some of the old peda gogues who, to this day, teach the classics to many young Frenchmen.
