How to Play School (Classic Reprint) ~ Paperback ~ Unknown Author

Excerpt from How to Play School The apparatus comprises sixty-six (66) articles, in connection with letters, figures, characters and certain words and punctuation marks. The articles are principally made of finely seasoned and polished ma le-wood, and expressly for this game. One of the articles is hollbw, has a cubical form, a French style of roof for a top, and an arched door or entrance-way cut through one side, the crown of the arch being exactly in the centre of such side; consequently, it is properly named House, although it is a very diminutive one. The House is lined with a fine quality of cloth and rubber - the rubber being secured to the oor, and divided into 16 squares. The square farthest from the Entrance-way, to the left, is No. 1; the next, 2; and so on across and down to the one nearest the E. W. To the right, 16. From the front side of the House there is a hinged folding ex tension oi the oor as a yard, the dimensions of Which being equal to one and a half times that of the oor. The Yard, which is lined with billiard cloth, contains two holes, as pockets, immediately in front of and equally distant from the E. W., and it has a rubber and wood boundary wall, called the Fence.
