"a STATE system or EDUcATIoN ros
NEw-Y oRK." Address Of Hon Henry j.
Raymond, dei,rered before The literary Socie-
Ties Of the Rochester University July IL,
1851.
Some things in this splendid pamphlet APP
ply so well to the condition and prospects of
education in Vermont, that we would en-
deavor to appropriate them to our own use.
The name of the author, native we be-
lieve of the Empire State, but educated at
our University, from his high position as a
scholar, a statesman and an editor, must be
known, even in our Green Mountain recess
cs, as already possessed Of power and inilu-
eneo in the departments of literature, sci
encc aud government. We refer, then, 10
this address, not to cxtol the author for hls
high attaiuments, or add our influence to
extend his already well established repu,a-
ton; but to avail ourselves of that reputa-
ton to arrest the attention, guide reflection
and fast IN conviction upon the minds OF our
own Legislators, in regard to the truth and
importance Of certain principles discussed in
this address aud worthy Of incorporation into
the laws OF this State.
by Mr. Raymond, education is claimed to
be "a State interest -" the sum and ag-
grceato of all other interests" The foun-
di'ion is laid in the system Of common
schools, already N successful operation and
The liberal provisions, made for thcm, and
claimed as due 10 the higher institutions of
learning Ia the state so that no child
New York shall iiil OF a classic education
by reason OF poverty. This is bold con.
ccpiion. We believe, never before thus DIS
,inctly announced, aud certainly worthy Of
is FIRST trial IN that great, rich and iutelh-
gent State. !, would he out T place here.
