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 23 - And the eye cannot say unto the hand, "I have no need of thee:" nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you.

To turn raw, undisciplined youth into Universities to study the Professions, to study the Learned Languages and the Higher Sciences, is a palpable absurdity. If they have not gone through A proper discipline in the Primary and Intermediate Schools, thev cannot be fitted for the University.
Stran 15 - As knowledge, from its nature, grows from simple elements; as the human mind, in its nature, grows from infancy and childhood; so a system of Education must spread out from the school of childhood, to the school of manhood ; from the Primary School to the University.
