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?[/QUOTE]

THIS may come as a surprise to many but farming is a job. That doesn't mean that farmers are without class and depth and other interests and they don't like ballet and opera and know higher math and enjoy reading great literature and debating issues other than how much fertilizer they will need.
I think most of us were born with a thirst for knowledge and a desire to know how things works and how things interact.
