Traditionally, the American farmer has always been independent and hard-working. In the eighteenth century farmers were quite self-sufficient. The farm family grew and made almost nothing it needed. The surplus crop would be sold to buy a new __1__items in the local general store.

In 1860, because some of the farm population had moved to __2__the city, yet eighty percent of the American population was still in the country. In the late nineteen century, farm work and life __3__were not much changed from that they had been in old days. The __4__farmer aroused at dawn or before and had much work to do, with __5__his own muscles like his chief source of power. He used axes, __6__spades and other complicated tools. In his house cooking was done __7__in wood-burning stoves, and the kerosene lamp was the only improvement on the candle. The family's recreation and social life chiefly consisted a drive in the wagon to the nearby small town or __8__village to transact some business as well as to chat with neighbors who had also come to town.

The children attended a small elementary school (often of just one room) to that they had to walk every day, possibly for a __9__few miles.

to be honest craftsmen, skilled at our work through years of patient practice. Nowadays if we want to get a decent job, we have to have a piece of paper. If we want promotion in even the humblest job, we have to obtain a certificate or a diploma first. We may know that we would be better at the job than the man with the paper qualifications, but our experience and practical skills are regarded as relatively unimportant. "Johnson would have been manager by now if he'd taken the trouble to get a degree," his colleagues say, "he's a clever man. He could have done anything if he'd had a proper education."

I wonder if, as time goes on, we shall discover that many people, whose practical experience and ability would have been enormously useful to their employers, have been rejected on the grounds that they are insufficiently qualified. Would it not be better to allow people to become expert in the way most suited to them, rather than oblige them to follow a set course of instruction which may offer no opportunity for them to develop skills in which they would have become expert if left to themselves？
