Yay, a Part Two! :D I'm so fascinated by all this, Dreamflower! Education is very important, and I can see all this making sense, from the little the Professor gave us and everything else that was implied, to the historical expectation of how education used to work in our own world. It all adds up (if you'll pardon the accidental math pun :D )

And of course there was paper in the Shire - they had books, they had to have paper! Though I was always rather confused as to how it was made. Rag paper? That's something I haven't heard of.... *intrigued*

And Healing will be its own section? Yay! ^_^

I love this essay series! Looking forward to more!
