tainlY, will contend that the univer.
tiles, colleges, academies and high
chools can do it, for the very good
reason that these costly and far
separated institutions are not, and in
the very nature of things, never will
be accessible or available to the
masses who are utterly unable to bear
the burden of expenditure that regu-
lar course in their halls would involve.
Only the children of the few can ever
expect tie receive an education at their
hands. That these higher schools of
learning have not their appropriate
places, duties and uses, and deserve, as
they are receiving, endowment and
patronage, we will not for a moment
question, and we bid them on-in heir
grand work. The duty of the govern
ment-good government, Is 10 take
care of the people who constitute the
pillars of all representative govern
ments; and if "to educate is to elevate
any people," then our duty is plain,
is provide the veryI best means at
our command. in order to effect this
grand result. So far, the free school
system has not met the emergency,
nor has. it come fully up to the eXpec
tations of its most ardent friends.
Perhaps this may in measure be be-
cause 1t has not had sufficient time for
development. Time enough, however,
has elapsed for those who, like the
writer, have had an opportunity to be-
come familiar with its workings from |
intimate relations with the free schools |
in the country to discover defects that |
might and may be remedied by legis- |
lation, or by those who "Sit in Moses's |
