I enjoy the Rules for the School. They are exactly how I'd expect to to be at this time: focused on appearance, courteous sportment, industrious behavior, pious routines, and orderly habits. They are raising ladies that will be raising their own children and tending to their husbands and must be their educations must be crafted in a certain way. However, I would like to know what were rules at male schools of the time. - Christine | I enjoy the Rules for the School.

| + | I also thought that this was a really interesting piece. But, I wonder why Mulford copied the rules in the first place? Also, I thought it was very interesting that on the 5th rule it is said that if you missed church that you better have a very good excuse "at the day of Judgement." Does that mean that when they died they had better have a good excuse to god why they didn't make it to church that day? It seems like such a scary way of saying "don't skip church." And lastly, I just wanted to point out something that made me laugh: under the questions part, it is mostly just going back and asking if you followed all the rules, then at the very end it says, "have you eaten any green fruit during the week." I just found that really random and out of place. -Kristina.S. | ||
