Stran 23 - God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
Stran 34 - Massachusetts enacted a law, as early as 1647, "that every township, after the Lord hath increased them to the number of fifty householders, shall appoint one to teach all the children to...

Stran 14 - On the same principle, it is equally plain that we can never succeed 'in perfecting our Highest Grade of Education, without perfecting the intermediate grade. To turn raw, undisciplined youth into Universities to study the Professions, to study the Learned Languages and the Higher Sciences, is a palpable absurdity.
