Dr. Sears has recently made a
report Of the operations Of the
Peabody educational fund from
lst July last. The original gift
by SIR. Peabody amounted TO a
million dollars, and about eleven
hundred thousand more in Plan
tcrs' Bank bonds, and the object
vas the promotion OF intellectual,
moral and industrial education in
the Southern q 1 Southwestern
States. In addition TO this, Mr..
Peabody gave, in June, 1869, SI,-
$4,000 more in securities Of Va
rious kinds. The trustees 10
whom these large sums were con-
signed we're given absolute discre
ton as to the localities and man.
ner Of carrying out NJ. Peabody's
intentions, which, considering the
social position and character OF
the gentlemen selected, was q per.
fectly safe course.
To properly organize a uniform
system and 10 appOrtion this
sum most advantagcously, DR..
Sears visited, in 1869, and after
ward, the seven Atlantic States,
beginning with the eastern pOr-
ton Of Virginia and ending with
Louisiana. He was received with
cordial welcome by all the chief
towns through which he passed,
and about sixty, selected with
reference to their influence in their
respective States, already, in July
Of 1858, had made arrangements
at his instance to organize public
free schools. 1t may be remark.
ed that this method Of action was
from the first decided upon by
the Trustees. They stated their
leading object to be the promo.
ton Of common or primary school
education by such means as then
existed or could be created. 1t
is remarkable that only one town
Of all those visited refused to CO.
operate in establishment of the
schools.
The cost Of public and private
education at the South was illus.
trated in q curious way by the
agencies created by Mr.. Peabo.
dy's gift. 1t was found that the
whole OF the white children Of the
South could be educated in public
schools at no more than the cost
Of educating half the white chill.
dren in private schools. In 1868,
up TO July, there was $4,000 def.
initely, and $4,000 Conditionally,
appropriated for these schools in
eight States, and other grants
we're subsequently made. But the
money thus given was much aug.
mented by the people to whom It
was awarded, and the fund, there.
fore, not only promoted the edu.
cation OF the South directly, but
stimulated the people to new OK
ertiOns of their own.
1t is unnecessary TO go over the
whole field embraced by DR.. Sears
report. The aid to the various
States seems to have been given
with great discrimination aud
care. The plan generally was to
induce the establishment Of pri.
mary schools, BY undertaking the
chief cost of such, and of helping
struggling institutions where free
were impracticable.
Students at normal schools re-
ceive also some Of the benefits Of
the fund. There are now a con.
siderable number of persons in
cluded in this category. The
whole report, IN short, indicates
