"THE rich possess ample means to realize any theory they may chuse to adopt in the education of their children, regardless of the cost; but it is not so with him whose Subsistence is derived from industry." "The complaint of bad pay, and difficulty in obtaining it, is almost generally reiterated through every department of education."
