A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Of nothing are the people of the United States more disposed to boast, than the free government, free institutions and free schools, which they have established. By the latter, it is designed to place within the reach of every child, the means of acquiring an education, sufficient to prepare him for the duties of a citizen. In a large number of the states, the establishment and support of free schools, has been a prominent object with the Legislatures. In some, the system adopted is, perhaps, better than in any other part of the world. But there is still a very general opinion, that the amount of benefit desirable, is not obtained from these primary fountains of knowledge. Many plans have been formed to increase their usefulness. Some of these have been put in operation, and others have ended in theory. It is the ardent wish of every patriot, philanthropist and christian, that the strong desire manifested to render this moral engine of social happiness and political security, as extensive, as complete and efficacious, as the vast resources of our intelligence and wealth will permit, may not cease, till somthing effectual shall be accomplished. No subject has stronger claims upon us, for on the correct and early education of youth, depends lhe ultimate success of every rational enterprise for the intellectual and moral improvement of man. %I norder to raise common schools to that standard of excellence which it is desirable they should attain ;whatever defects, in their plan and execution, exist must be carefully sought out.
