Education.

A little knowledge of the ways of men. A little reading of their deed* and fates* A little guessing at their thoughts an* then.. A quick forgetting of their names an* dates— That' s history. A little delving in the tomes they penned, A little conning of the verse they writ. A feeble grasping of their aims and trend, A shadow mem’ry of their mirth an* wit— That’s literature. A little dabbling with a salt or two, A little mussing with a sticky mess, A few' experiments half blunders* through. A twilight testing of a groping; guess— That's science.
