摘要: The schools in the area . A. were of poor quality B. offered all kinds of subjects C. respected those who knew Latin D. had teachers good at reading, writing, and adding
My father, at the death of his father, was six years old, and he grew up without education.He moved from Kentucky to Indiana when I was seven.We reached our new home about the time the state came into the Union.It was a wild area, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods.I grew up there.There were some so-called schools, but what was required of a teacher never went beyond “reading, writing, and adding”.If a stranger supposed to understand Latin happened to live for a time in the area, he was looked on as wizard(奇才).There was simply nothing to excite a desire for education.Of course, when I grew up, I did not know much.Still, somehow, I could read, write, and add, but that was all.The advance I have now made is on this store of education, which I have picked up under the pressure of necessity.
