"Every child in America should be
acquainted with his own country. He should read books that furnish him with
ideas that will be useful to him in life and practice. As soon as he opens his
lips, he should rehearse the history of his own country; he should lisp the
praise of liberty, and of those illustrious heroes and statesmen, who have
wrought a revolution in her favor."
--Noah Webster, On the Education of
Youth in America, 1788
