DIR. CRANE on PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ed under separate heads as follows:
|. Who ought TO control Educd-
ton? This is answered by placing
the duty originally upon the parent,
and the State onlyn default of the par
cnt's ability, though at varidnce with
generally received views in the States
where public free schools are promi-
"If," says the Doctor, "the parent Is
able to educate his children, he should
disdain to accept free tuition from
the State"
2. How far ought The State TO
proceed in advancing general or
special education. The crystalized
answer is,-the duty OF the State

tntes its thirty or forty Colleges and
Universities and 1875 Academies, and
10 or 20 technical and professional
