About this book

Home Life in Germany is by Mrs. Alfred Sidgwick. The contents list names, among others, Children, Schools, The Education of the Poor, The Backfisch, Servants and Food. The writer says that in most German homes the noisy, spoilt American child would not be endured for a moment.

The writer says she has dined with a large family where eight young ones of various ages sat at an overflow table, and did not disturb their elders by a sound. The writer says that it is the fashion in England just now for every man who writes about Germans to say that they are immensely ahead of us in business matters, but that she cannot judge of them in their factories and warehouses and is sure they are behind us in their shops. The writer says she has never met a German who would admit that Shakespeare was an Englishman, and reports that they say his birth at Stratford-on-Avon was a little accident, and that he belongs to the world.
