Teaching the Boers.

Before the Boer-Brltlsh war there was not a school outside of a town of 2,000 Inhabitants, and not one Boer boy or girl could read or write or count up' to 20. They were about as ignorant as the savage tribes around them. Now there are schools all over the country, and Boer children eight and nine years old have men education than their parents.
