There is nothing perhaps which so clearly
B and unequivocaly indicates the prosperity OF
a community, as the manner in which schools
and academies are patroni2cd The travelling
stranger can, with almost unerring certainty,
point out the village or neighborhood where
schools flourish, by the signs Of prosperity
which arc manifested in every department Of
business. But although the importance OF ed
ucation, as n question Of general policy, Is re-
b ceivcd as automatic with every ono; there are
very many, in every community, who cannot
: understand how or in what manner they are
4 individually benefited by the support ofschooI'
4 in their vicinity. Some feel indifferent on the
q subject because they have not children to edu
secate Others imagine that it is less expensive tc
eesoducate their children abroad, and feel indiHGr
ent on the subject Of domestic schools on ground
OF individual economy. So it is, from SOM
cause or other, probably nine tcnths of every
village or'neighborhood manifest an apathy OF
\ this subject utterly Incompatible with jus
4 sense of its importance. We fully bciey,
that liberal support Of domestic schools is
\ matter Of economy, an actual saving both t,

\ IS susceptible of the clearest demonstration
