Their knowledge allowed them to take control of the production process and the training of apprentices.
Day 1:
Today, I went to school. I woke up when the rooster awoke me, and I first did all my chores. Afterwards, I had breakfast and walked to school. The teacher made us copy some words on our slates, and spell them out loud. Everyone did really well. For lunch, I went to the river with my friends. The teacher did not assign homework, and we got to go home early.
Day 2:
Today my chores were more difficult, because we are beginning to get ready for winter. At school, the teacher made us memorize some poems, and I was asked to help the smaller children with the words they did not know. I also stayed after school to help the teacher clean the classroom.
Day 3:
Today was Friday, which meant that we would study science. Therefore, we went to the river, and we looked at the fish and the other animals that lived there. The teacher then sat us on a circle in the forest and she talked to us about how all nature is connected. We then had lunch and came back to the classroom. Once in class, we wrote a paragraph about winter, and then we went home.
In practical presidential politics the outstanding question of the day is whether President Coolidge will be a candidate for renomination and reelection in 1928. The President has given no indication of his own attitude, nor is it likely that any direct announcement of his intention to be or not to be a candidate will be forthcoming until shortly in advance of the Republican National Convention. A premature announcement that he was not a candidate would measurably weaken, if not destroy, the President's influence with the leaders of his party, while an announcement of his candidacy would provide definite basis for the organization, both within and without the party, of opposition to his renomination and reelection.
Nicholas Murray Butler, in an address six weeks ago in which he described himself as “a working Republican who is both a personal friend and a political supporter of President Coolidge,” said he was taking it for granted “that when he thinks the right time has come he will make public statement of his unwillingness to have his name considered in connection with the Republican presidential nomination of 1928.” The President's good common sense, Dr. Butler believed, would dictate against “inviting certain defeat through injecting the third term issue into the campaign.”
As early as July 1926, the late Senator Albert Cummins, following his defeat and the defeat of other administration senators in the senatorial primaries, had expressed the opinion in a widely published statement that the President would not be a candidate in 1928, that he would have “had enough of it by that time.” Neither the Cummins statement, nor the Butler speech seven months later both of which were interpreted as “an effort to smoke out the President” brought any announcement from the White House of the President's attitude toward his renomination.
