The first of September came all too soon, andschool began. Among the boys and girlswho went trooping up to the "East Cornerknowledge-box," as they called it, was our friend Ben,with a pile of neat books under his arm. He feltvery strange, and decidedly shy; but put on a boldface, and let nobody guess that, though nearly thirteen,he had never been to school before. Miss Celiahad told his story to Teacher, and she, being a kindlittle woman, with young brothers of her own, madethings as easy for him as she could. In reading andwriting he did very well, and proudly took his placeamong lads of his own age; but when it came toarithmetic and geography, he had to go down a longway, and begin almost at the beginning, in spite ofThorny's efforts to "tool him along fast." It mortifiedhim sadly, but there was no help for it; and insome of the classes he had dear little Betty to consolewith him when he failed, and smile contentedlywhen he got above her, as he soon began to do, --for she was not a quick child, and plodded2 throughFirst Parts long after sister Bab was flourishing awayamong girls much older than herself.
