process of interesting events, the
reform of the family brought about the reform of the
community, with unhappy dispositions changed into
lovable characters, that make good citizens and reach
social success._

Elspeth Oliver is the girl whose energy keeps things whirling in the
Berry Patch. Judge Berry was the great authority on what's what among
them, and John Tabor, the school teacher, was the romantic character in
the community. All the human excitements of pride and self-will enter
into the various ambitions. Even generous impulses were taught restraint
in the experiences of various kinds, showing that there is an appropriate
time and place for everything.

The Berry Patch children did not get into mischief from any desire to
make trouble, but because a surplus of energy was engaged in making
discoveries. However, the greatest of all discoveries was that experience
is a dear teacher, and random experiences sometimes cost many tears.
Human nature in the "Berry Patch" is revealed in so many ways that it
makes profitable and interesting reading for those who are troubled with
household troubles.

charming, quick and radiant, with a snappy temper. As she is the
responsible one, she has many hard struggles to do the right thing in
the right way. Sarah is two years younger. She is the peculiar one, with
her love for all kinds of animals about the farm, and her unsocial,
stubborn disposition. Her unruly ideas lead her into numerous troubles
before she changes her mind. Shirley is the baby and pet of six years.
As she gets her own way so often, she is badly spoiled and receives many
hard knocks before she begins to appreciate the comfort and interest of
others. Dr. H
