LETTER FROM A FREED MAN TO HIS OLD MASTER

Dayton, Ohio, August 7, 1865 To My Old Master, Colonel P.H. Anderson, Big Spring, Tennessee Sir: I got your letter, and was glad to find that you had not forgotten Jordon, and that you wanted me to come back and live with you again, promising to do better for me than anybody else can. I have often felt uneasy about you. I thought the Yankees would have hung you long before this, for harboring Rebs they found at your house. I suppose they never heard about your going to Colonel Martin's to kill the Union soldier that was left by his company in their stable. Although you shot at me twice before I left you, I did not want to hear of your being hurt, and am glad you are still living.

Scholar And Educator

The Deliberate Dumbing Down Of America

Here I have provided you with the pdf link to the very informative and very revealing book by Mrs. Charolette Thomson Iserbyt, "The Deliberate Dumbing Down Of America." It gives a detailed inside look at the educational system from it's conception to today. I'm not gonna spoil it for you by telling you to much about it. But I'm gonna tell you this "The Deliberate Dumbing Down Of America" is an invaluable book that breaks the educational system down to it's core. It tells about the revamping of the educational system and the reason why. Parents send their children to school  thinking that they're children are getting a true education but, in actuality they're children are only being training. Sadly the same goes for all levels of education from preschool to college. http://www.deliberatedumbingdown.com/MomsPDFs/DDDoA.sml.pdf
