"Mamma," she said, suddenly, to her mother, one day, "why don't we teach our servants to read?" "What a question child! People never do." "Why don't they?" said Eva. "Because it is no use for them to read. It don't help them to work any better, and they are not made for anything else." "But they ought to read the Bible, mamma, to learn God's will."
