In Passing

As: “Educated” by the American “education” system?


Tom Maguire:

Longfellow:
Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five...
From the [New York] Times corrections:
An article in the Escapes pages on Jan. 1 about visiting Boston in the winter, which described modern and historical sites, misstated the year of Paul Revere’s famous ride.  It was 1775, not 1776.
How soon they forget.
That story must have been written by one of those “educated class” people.
