The health of any society, the happiness of its people, their prosperity, and their peace all find common roots in the teaching of children in the home.

It was a wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. There I grew up.... Of course when I came of age I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write, and cipher ... but that was all.
