Young Lincoln Made the Best of Scan
ty Schooling

As Abraham had been only seven
wears old when he left Kentucky, the
little beginnings he learned in the schools
kept BY Riney and Hazel in that state
must have been very slight, probably
only his alphabet, or at most only three
on four pages OF Webster's Elementary
Spelling Book" The multiplication ta-
bic was still mystery to him, and he
could read or write only the words he
spelled. His first two years in Indiana
seem TO have passed without schooling
Of any sort, and the school he attended
shortly after coming under the care OF
his stepmother was Of the simplest kind,
for the Pigeon Creek settlement num-
bered only eight on ten poor families,
and they lived deep in the forest, where,
even il they had had the money for
such Injuries, it would have been impos-
sibe 70 buy books. states, pens, ink or
paper. II is worthy of note, however,
that in our Western country, even under
such difficulties, school house was one
OF the first buildings to rise in every
; frontier settlement. Abraham's second
school in Indiana was held when he was
wears old and the third in his sew
enteenth year.
By that time he had more books and
better teachers, but he had Ia walk four
or five miles to reach them. We know
that he learned to write and was pro-

scraps on which be carefully wrote down
tables Of long measure, land measure
and dry measure, as well as examples
in multiplication and compound division,
from his arithmetic. He was never able
TO 20 to school again after this time,
and though the instruction he received
from his five teachers two in Kentucky
and three in Indiana extended over q
period OF nine years, it must be re-
membered that it made up in all less
than one twelvemcnth; "that the az
gregate Of all bis schooling did not
amount to one year" The fact that
he received this instruction, as he him.

advantage. A lazy or Indifferent boy
would, Of course, have forgotten what

had opportunity at another; but Abra-

and these widely separated fragments
of instruction were precious steps to
