Public Schools.

In antiquity the masses OF the peo-
pie grew up in ignorance of things
literary. Public education-the educa-
tion that exists for the masses of the
people-began, practically, with John
Calvin's rule in Gene \. from which
time popular education had steadily
gained ground. The free school sys-
tenn had its beginning in Great Brit
ain, about the year 1880. with Robert
Raikes and his Sunday school move
ment. 1t was not until 1850. however,
that the free public schools began to
get itself firmly rooted In the British
Isles. In this country from the start
the idea of universal education was
championed by Jefferson and other
leaders among US, and the idea has
never ceased to be fundamental with
