Knowing Our Story

by Martin Cothran

In

“We have a deepseated need to hear our own story—our personal story, the story of our family, and the story of our nation.”

2

Letter from the Editor

Amor Towles' new book, The Lincoln Highway, we find eight-year-old Billy Watson in a railroad freight car waiting for his brother to get back. It is the 1950s and Billy and his older brother Emmett are riding the rails east to New York from Nebraska. A man drops into the car. The boy strikes up a conversation with him and finds out that his name is Ulysses. Billy asks Ulysses who he was named after, and Ulysses tells him he was named after Ulysses S. Grant. But Billy disputes this because he has read Professor Abacus Abernathe's Compendium of Heroes, Adventurers, and Other Intrepid Travelers and knows the story of the Greek Ulysses (the Roman name for Odysseus) from Homer's Odyssey.

Little Billy asks the over-six-foot Ulysses if he would like to hear the story of the historical Ulysses from his book. So Ulysses sits down beside the boy and listens to him read the story of Ulysses, who wanders for ten years, impeded by one misfortune after another, before he finally arrives home. Listening, Ulysses is reduced to tears, seeing in the story of Homer's Ulysses his own story.

He tells Billy he was a soldier who left his pregnant wife in order to fight for his country in the War. She told him that if he went she would not stay, and when he returned several years later she and his son were gone. He has ridden the rails across the country for eight years trying to find them. Although the sorrows of his own odyssey have brought him to tears, the story of Homer's Ulysses gives him hope that he, too, will ultimately find his wife and son.

We have a deep-seated need to hear our own story—our personal story, the story of our family, and the story of our nation. We also need to hear the story of our civilization.

Some of it is happy and some of it is sad. We need to hear it all. It is through a narrative story that we can most clearly see the difference between the true and the false, between goodness and evil, and between beauty and ugliness. Hearing your own story puts everything in proper perspective.

It has been said of The Lincoln Highway that its theme is "inheritance." This theme is not just a great theme for a book; it is and must be the theme of any good education system.

The great stories of our Western Christian heritage have been handed down to us for hundreds—even thousands—of years. Until very recently, everyone expected our schools to be the main conduits through which we pass these stories down from generation to generation. Unfortunately, many of our schools seem to have forgotten this.

The telling of the great stories—as they are embodied in the literature and history of the West—is not just one of the jobs of a school—it is the central job of a school. The liberal arts and the great books are not just window dressing for the vocational instruction that many of our schools focus on—they are the main thing.

A good curriculum is at the core of this project—one that includes history, literature, and the bodies of knowledge about God, ourselves, and our world that we call the "sciences." It should also include instruction in the skills required to know well these things that we call the "liberal arts."

This is what Memoria Press' Classical Core Curriculum is designed to do. It's not quite Professor Abacus Abernathe's Compendium of Heroes, Adventurers, and Other Intrepid Travelers, but it's pretty close.

The Classical Core Curriculum is a complete classical Christian curriculum that emphasizes the traditional liberal arts of language and mathematics and the cultural heritage of the Christian West as expressed in the great works of history and literature. The curriculum has an early focus on the basic skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic, and a special emphasis on Latin. Latin is the best way to gain an academic vocabulary and to learn the formal system of grammar, and is, along with math, the best early critical thinking skills training. The study of the cultures of Athens and Rome, as well as biblical and Church history, is designed to provide a basis for a proper understanding of European and American history.
