It's importance One of the principals OF
our schools, an ihtelIlgeft gentleman, in
formed me that IN nearly every instance, In
his knowledge, In which complaint had
been made of injury from over-study in
school, II was In cases where this Kind of
reading had been INDUCED in. ~
Unfortunately | can suggest no remedy
for this evil. A supervision on the part OF
the teachers of books perpsed by the child
ron is impracticahle parents are Extremely
Jealous Of any interference With their chill
dren when not at school, and undoubtedly
those parents least capable of selecting
proper reading would make the strongest
objection to any regulation of this Kind,
aud the day is very far in the glture when
parents will generally be qualified TO act
rs guides TO their children IN this respect.
The system of public school instruction
of our State Is one of which we may justly
feel proud; affording to the children OF all
Glasses n good education without money
and without price, u lays the solid founda-
tion of intelligence among the peoples for
theercction and maintaiifapce OF OR free
Institutions. With che expression Of the
hope that the investigation instituted by
your honorable body may remove or pre-
vent defects which would tend to interfere
with the usefulness of the system, this re-
port Is most respectfully submitted.
