"Well, 'twould need a good eddication to tell, but there's only one in his class, I tell you." "Then he owes it to this little woman," pointing to one of the photographs, "and she," pointing to the other, "said so." "Then you may bet it's true." "I don't bet on a sure thing," said the colonel, his annoyance vanishing in a slow smile, his first since reaching the province.
I never thought they raised such people up in Yankeeland as him. You can bet he'll make his mark. He'll be a judge before he's ten years older; and they do well to get him here. And what I say is: where did he get his eddication? He is an orphan too, like you, James ... raised by an uncle so far as he had a raisin'. But the uncle fooled him. He promised him an eddication, and then went back on it.
An', b'jinks, if you spring anything extry fine an' highfalutin I'll double it make it two thousand; anything to help 'em along, gettin' an eddication, which I ain't got, ner never kin git, but my gal shall an' all her young friends.

"Can you read?" she ses. "No," ses Joe, wondering wot was coming next. "That's all right, then," she ses, "because if you could I couldn't do wot I'm going to do." "That shows the 'arm of eddication," ses Joe.
McWhirter. She's rather a superior gal, sir, though I say it myself. She's had a rattling good eddication; talks French like a native, and as for music and singing, I've never heard any gal as could touch her, that's a fact. Here she is."

It won't be easy, for she won't have the eddication or patience to think deep, and there'll be plenty selfish and short-sighted folk that won't think at all.
