A Round Dozen: Large Print

By: Coolidge, Susan

I SUPPOSE that most boys and girls who go to school and study geography know, by sight atleast, the little patch of pale pink which is marked on the map as "Switzerland." I suppose, too, that if I asked, "What can you tell me about Switzerland?" a great many of them wouldcry out, "It is a mountainous country, the Alps are there, Mont Blanc is there, the highestland in Europe." All this is true; but I wonder if all of those who know even so much haveany idea what a beautiful country Switzerland is? Not only are the mountains very high andvery grand, but the valleys which lie between are as green as emerald, and full of all sorts ofwild flowers; there are lakes of the loveliest blue, rivers which foam and dash as merrily asrivers do in America, and the prettiest farmhouses in the world, -ch lets the Swiss callthem, -with steep roofs and hanging balconies, and mottoes and quaint ornaments carvedall over their fronts. And the most peculiar and marvellous thing of all is the strangenearness of the grass and herbage to the snows.
