Every commune must have its schools, - one for boys and one for girls, but generally entirely distinct. Mixed schools are very rare in France, while with you young men and girls to the age of fourteen or fifteen, and sometimes older, go to the same school. That is a custom that the French, whether rightly or wrongly, do not understand, and would not permit. A schoolmaster...
