The three Rs (as in the letter R) are basic skills taught in schools: reading, writing and arithmetic. The phrase appeared in print as a space-filler in "The Lady's Magazine" for 1818, although it is sometimes attributed to a speech given by Sir William Curtis, Member of Parliament, in about 1795, the publication The Mirror of Literature, Amusement, and Instruction, Volume 5, casts doubt on this by noting "It has been very much the fashion amongst a class of persons to attribute to Sir W.C. certain bulls (which would be more in place from an alderman in Dublin), and also a vulgarity and arrogance of speech which are by no means consistent with his character and conduct.". The skills themselves are alluded to in St. Augustine's Confessions: nam illas primas, ubi legere et scribere et numerare discitur 'for those first, where to read, and to write, and ciphering is being learned.' . Ciphering translates differently and can be defined as transposing, arguing, reckoning, a secretive method of writing, or numerating. Since its original creation, many others have used the term to describe other triples. |
