Content
 This print is engraved after a representation of a French classroom by the French artist Abraham Bosse. The picture has been somewhat adapted to the Dutch situation. It concerns a chic school: in general situations were far more rough in our classrooms. The print is supplied with a poem with a mocking comment on Dutch reading and spelling. According to the poet this education took far too much time and was not very effective. `Reformed' here means `renewed'.
