Little People in Other Lands.

If you were a German child of four years, you would know how to weed your mother’s garden without ever pulling up a flower or a vegetable, and you would do it, too, for little German boys and girls are taught to work in the fields almost as soon as they can walk. By the time you were twelve years old you would be quite an experienced farmer. If you remained in Germany the law would require you to go to school ten months out of every year until you were sixteen years old, but during the vacations and holidays your parents would train you to work out of doors, only there would not have to be any force about it, for work would have become a habit to you, and you would enjoy it. A Japanese baby never learns how to if there is any truth in the old ridage that you must “creep before you walk,” it is no wonder that they are not very graceful walkers. The poor, tiny tots are taught to begin walking on their hands and «oles of their feet, and when they sit they squat on the soles of the feet. —American Agriculturist.
