Walt Mason gives us this little
prose verse in the Daily Capital:
"We know so much that doesn't
count! We load up with q vast
mount of useless junk of Latin,
Greek and tongues the dead ones used
TO speak We learn to draw a little
bit and then, old Euclid's stuff we
hit, We learn string 0fuseless dates
which learning nearly busts our pates
And when from school we take our
way--in this broad world to put up
nay--we can't apply the things we've
Iearned-.and all our little works are
,purned. The hopeful kids we send
TO school--will study by the same old
rule-One may be built to twang the
Tyre and one to stoke an engines fire;
me has Caruso's gift to sing-and
me may elevate the ring. What e'el
the talent or the mind, they all mus
try the same old grind-and DER their
dog cared volumns sweat-to learn
fool things they should forget"
