My father claims that my great grandmother was better educated in a public single room schoolhouse at grade 12 than our modern 6 year PHD graduates. This would have been around 1900. A bit of an exaggeration I’m sure, but there is probably a lot of truth to it. Her diary has the eloquence that you mention.

My grandfathers penmanship was PURE ART. Even as a tyke I remember trying to learn to write and looking at his log books and his writing was beautiful to me even then.
We have more access to information and network effects allow us to build tremendous technology. But, our schools are failing our kids. And us.
