The Richmond Wing of the 9th ultimo, says ST.
We observe with pleasure, that the public mind is
beginning to take interest in this allimportant sub
ject. Meetings to consider of the best system for
the education of all the children of the Common
wealth, have been held in Danville, Lynchburg,
Powhatan and King & Queen.
The subject is one which does present difficulties
but surely of a magnitude not to be surmounled.-
Other States and countries, by a moderate cxpen-
di,ure of money and perseverance,, have shown US
the possibility of attaining this great object, at an
expense, which is as dust in the balance, compared
with the manifold and irsperishable benefits result.
ing. When we bear in mind, the fact, that our in
stitutions are dependant upon the intelligence o
the people, it is wonderful that any man can fee
indifference on the subject, or that the whole peo
pie have not long since risen en- masse and deman
ded at the hands of their Legislature, without re
gard to the cost, a system which should |constrai
every child in the Commonwealth to be educated.
The existing system is very defective, if not pos
itively vicious; and we hope the people will tax
the matter in hand, ami require their Represents
tives, before the lapse of another year, to establis
a wise, comprehensive and efficient system, such a
il demanded by the genius of our institutions.
