Translations:Jacobine Schneider (Da VII 3)/4/en

We children were brought up with love but also with the necessary discipline and had to attend good schools. Father and mother often denied themselves basic necessities in order to scrape together the school fees and procure books. After elementary school, I attended the girls’ school and then the newly founded teacher training school and the teacher training college; my sister learned plain sewing at the women’s school for practical work training; while my brother, after attending secondary school, started an apprenticeship with his godfather Karl Wich in Nuremberg to become a goldsmith.
