illustrious champions of freedom have always preached,—the education of their people. They humbly crave leave to remind the American people that the State should take charge of the education of the people; that the first admonition of Penn, addressed to the colony which he founded, was, "Educate the people;" the unceasing exhortation of Jefferson was, "Educate the people," and the dying legacy which Washington bequeathed to the nation he had saved was, "Educate the people."
