The fact, also, of the existence of private schools, for scholars of the higher grades, supported at private expense, shows strongly, the demand for the establishment of Grammar schools, free to all who choose to avail themselves of their privileges. True, all will not be equally accommodated as to distance, all cannot be. Experience does not show that those who reside nearest a school-house are most punctual, most healthy, or the best scholars. Whatever is easily obtained, is rarely ever highly prized. In proportion to the effort made to gain an education is the estimate of it.
Free schools should be increased and perfected. With unanimity of purpose, with a conviction of their importance, we should labor, not by rash or ill digested measures, but judi- ciously, to give them greater vigor, and gathering light from experience and example, seek through them to raise up a people, happy, intelligent, useful, and capable of sustaining the honor of the country, and the model institutions of our ancestors.
