Jasper County Democrat, Volume 20, Number 4, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 April 1917 — Conception of Cultivation. [ARTICLE]

Conception of Cultivation.

Cultivation a generation ago meant acquaintance with letters and the fine arts, and some knowledge of at least two languages and literatures, and of history. The term “cultivation” is now much more inclusive. It includes elementary knowledge of the sciences, and it ranks high the subjects of history, government and economics.— Charles W. EHOt, in Atlantic.
