—Oscar Wilde (18541900)
“There were some schools, so called [in my youth]; but no qualification was ever required of a teacher, beyond readin, writin, and cipherin, to the Rule of Three. If a straggler supposed to understand latin, happened to sojourn in the neighborhood, he was looked upon as a wizzard. There was absolutely nothing to excite ambition for education.”
