I completed the first three years of primary school in one year and was admitted to the local school the age of six directly into the fourth year, some two years younger than all my contemporaries.

I was at a public school until I was in sixth grade when I moved to New York.

I went to eight different schools my first nine years of school.

I went through seventh grade in private school. I went to private school from kindergarten to seventh grade.

I went to public school up until junior high.

Before the eighth grade, I probably went to seven or eight different schools.

A modern girls' school, equipped as scores are now equipped throughout the country, was of course not to be found in 1858, when I first became a school boarder, or in 1867, when I ceased to be one.

It started 25 years ago, when I was teaching elementary school in a small town in Missouri.

I went to elementary school in Ottawa, and then to a private secondary school.
