William Clark did not have any formal education, but instead was tutored at home. Because of his lack of proper education, he would later become self-conscious of his almost constant misspellings in his writing.

From age thirteen to eighteen Lewis attended local school taught by ministers in Virginia. One of these was Parson Matthew Maury, who was a son of Charles Goodyear Maury who was Thomas Jefferson's teacher for two years. In 1793, Lewis graduated from Liberty Hall (now Washington and Lee University).

What does SC Lewis mean when he said The task of a modern day educator is not to cut down jungles but to irrigate deserts?

In this quote, C.S. Lewis is highlighting the importance of nurturing and developing individuals who may initially seem barren or lacking in knowledge and understanding. Instead of focusing on diminishing existing knowledge and potential (cutting down jungles), educators should focus on nourishing and enriching the minds of those who are in need of guidance and support (irrigating deserts). It emphasizes the role of educators in fostering growth and development in students who may not have had access to strong educational resources or support.

The theory of unilinear social evolution was developed by early anthropologists such as Herbert Spencer and Lewis Henry Morgan.
