Education Might Be
Termed Passion Of
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln once gave to
casual acquaintance whom he met on
a railway train the following particu-
lars US to his education:
"Well, as to education, the newspa-
pers are correct. never went to
school more than six months In my life.
can say this: that among my earliest
recOllectiOns l remember how, when
a mere child, used to get irritated
could not understand. do not think
l ever got angry at anything else In
my life; but that always disturbed
my temper, and has ever since. can
remember going to my little bedroom
after hearing the neighbors talk Of
an evening with my father. and spend.
Ing no small part Of the night walk.
ing up and down and trying to make
out what was the exact meaning Of
some Of their. to me. dark sayings.
I could not sleep, although tried to,
when got on such hunt for an idea
until had caught 1t; and when I
thought had got It was not salts
fed until had put It in language
plain enough. as I thought, for any
boy knew to comprehend. This was
q kind Of passion with me and has
stuck BY me; for am never easy now.
when I am handling 4 thought. until
I have bounded 1t north and bounded
II south and bounded It east and
bounded It west"
Supplementing these "reminiscences
by q few extracts from an article In
the Encyclopedia Britannica, we learn

reread In early boyhood the Bible.
