That the best interest of every
independent s-hool coinnu-
nity, demand a uniformity of
text-books ia that particular
school no practical, experi-
enced, setisi ble person with
common educational sense will
deny; but 'hat the best interests
of every school in the state d«
mauds, or depends upon, the
use of a uniform series
of text books throughout
the state, is supreme nonsensi'.
Such uniformity is not desira
ble, and that the state should
publish a series of text books
for free distribution to thechil
dren of the slats, partakes en-
tirely too much of paternalism
to be at all desirable in a free
government, where the people,
at least, purport to be intelli-
gent enough to govern and pro-
vide for themselves and Hiil-
dren.
Each school district is an in
dependent educational instini
tion of the state, and the pro
wrens it niukes in eilucatioiiul
attainments will depend chief
1> 11 poti the immediate envi
ron , and not upon what may
be the peculiar conditions of
progress in other localities
That the state should render
some assistance, in a general
way, to the "general diffusion
of knowledge," is not at all in
question ; but when it does
more than this, the general
lethargy that followsupaternal
ism" in any patticular branch
of government, will soon matii
fest itself. With a gentle slim
ulant, such as the state now
gives to the "general diffusion
of knowledge," educational
progress will be greatest when
left dependent upon the im
mediate educational instruuien
talities which the
and energy of the peopl
each independent school com-
munity furnish.
