A awful lot, he fears.
But paw he was a model youth
At school-he says that Is tn truth.
Paw says that as tn twig's inclined
TIL tree is sure to grow,
An proper trainin' OF tn mind
Controls how much we'll know.
He says tn schools has all been wrong
An now they will commence
To push each boy and girl along
AM give EN- lots Of sense.
But paw-he used to be SO smart
An had his lessons all by heart.
Paw says he's glad tn old time ways
Won't be used any more
They was no good at all, he says,
An should have gone before.
He says tn schools was out o. date
For twenty years or So
That people tried to educate
But never did It, though.
But when he went to school, he said.
He always stood right at tn head.
