All which is now done in private schools of the highest grade, and where the wants of any considerable portion of the community create such private schools, should be provided for in the system of public schools, so that the same advantages, without being abridged or denied to the children of the rich and the educated, should be open at the same time to worthy and talented children of the poorest parent.

To form for the schools a course of instruction which could bear the name of a religious one, and which would meet the views of all, was manifestly impossible. To give every sect a pro rata share of the school moneys to enable it to support its own schools, and teach its own system of religious faith in them, would be to divide...
Page 57 - York has the proud honor," says Hon. HENRY S. RANDALL, in a report on the subject in 1844, " of being the first government in the world, which has established a free library system, adequate to the wants of her whole population.
