Korea (2004)
“Seoul City—Soul City The Nobility, and all Free-men in general, take great care of the Education of their Children, and put them very young to learn to read and write, to which that Nation is much addicted. They use no manner of rigour on their method of teaching, but manage by all fair means, giving their Scholar an Idea of Learning, and of the Worth of their Ancestors, and telling them how honourable those are who by this means have rais’d themselves to great Fortunes, which breeds Emulation,... and makes them students. It is wonderful to see how they improve by these means, and how they expound their Writings they give them to read, wherein all their Learning consists. Besides this private Study, there is in every Town a House where the Nobility, according to antient Custom of which they are very tenacious, take care to assemble the Youth, to make them read the History of the Country… Hendrick Hamel, 1668 There can be few Americans who would voluntarily give up their citizenship and exchange it instead for citizenship of the Republic of Korea.MoreLess
