Question

"Ah, that's the great trouble with Alsace."What state of Alsace does M. Hamel refer to here?

Answer 1

Ans.

M. Hamel observes that the great trouble with Alsace was that it put off learning until tomorrow. It means that the people of that town did not perform their work when it was required to be done and kept it off until later.

He also tells that the parents were not anxious enough towards the education of their kids and preferred that the kids worked on mills and farms to earn money as the town of Alsace was poor.
