In the beginning, I believe most Americans were farmers. Why would they have a need for schools? I think the need came as industry grew and required some minimum level of education.


Does that help any?
VillagesPL: If I understand your response "How we got where we are", it can be summed up simply by stating "necessity is the mother of invention" Each invention built on more demanding needs or wants. To engage in discussion of various industries organizations will take more space than I believe TOTV has and the format makes maintaining continuity almost impossible. I mean just look at the Ebola thread that has over 350 posts....who's on first?
