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.
