But every child in America should be acquainted with his own country. He should read books that furnish him with ideas that will be useful to him in life and practice. As soon as he opens his lips, he should rehearse the history of his own country; he should lisp the praise of liberty and of those illustrious heroes and statesmen who have wrought a revolution in her favor.
I agree with this idea because I think children should develop their reading skills from a young age while also learning about their own country. They should know what people have done for their country, what happened in the past, and how their country became what it is today. I think everyone should have this kind of knowledge about their own country because it is also part of having general knowledge and understanding your history. It can also help when someone from another country asks you questions about your country because you can explain its history and answer their questions with confidence. That is why I think learning from a young age about what happened in the past and what people did for the country can be very useful. Not only in America, but in every country, children should learn about their country's history so they can understand how their country reached where it is today and also be able to share that knowledge with others.
