Now what I want is fact teach these boys and girls nothing but facts. Facts alone I wanted in life, plant nothing else and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning, animals upon facts. Nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own Children and this is the principle on which I bring up these Children. Stick to facts, sir. The scene was a plain bare monotonous vault of a schoolroom. The speakers square forefinger emphasized his observations by underscoring every sentence with a line on the schoolmasters sleeves. The emphasis was helped by the speakers square wool of a forehead, had its eyebrows for its base. His eyes found commodious, sell origen to dark caves overshadowed by the wall. The emphasis was helped by the speaker's mouth which was wide, thin and hard set. The emphasis was helped by the speaker's voice which was inflexible, dry and dictatorial. The emphasis was helped by the speakers hair which bristled on the skirts of his bald head, plantation of furs to keep the wind from its shining surface were covered with knobs like the crust of a plum pie as if the head had scarcely warehouse room for the hard facts stored inside the speakers, obstinate carriage square coat square legs, square shoulders, made his very neck cloth train to take him by the throat with an un accommodating grasp like a stubborn fact as it was or helped the emphasis in this life. We want nothing but facts, nothing but facts. The speaker and the schoolmaster and third grown person present all back to little and swept with their eyes, the inclined plane of little vessels then and they're arranged in order ready to have imperial gallons of facts poured into them until they were full to the brim.
