All the imposing school houses which dot the length and breadth of our land public-schools, private-schools, boarding-schools are constructed and administered in accordance with modern principles. In them no effort is spared to educate and enlighten the youthful intellect. It is trained in scientific information, and scientific methods, and scientific habits of thought.
It was agreed that the balance should be paid after leaving school. In a class of ten I received a diploma from the normal department, June 17, 1886. My time during the summer was occupied in working with my father at the carpenter's trade. Texas was said to have good public-schools, and it was my plan to try the "Lone Star State."
We agreed that they were ideal training-grounds for character, and that our public-schools were the envy of the civilised world. In such profound and suggestive interchange of ideas the time sped rapidly away. Then we were gathered into a big hall.

They gathered a population of humble serfs, selected from twenty or thirty races of hereditary bondsmen; but owing to the absurd American custom of having public-schools, the children of this population learned to speak English, and even to read it. So they became too good for their lot in life; and then a wandering agitator would get in, and all of a sudden there would be hell.
