Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Advancement in the Means and Method of Public Instruction: A Lecture Delivered Before the American Institute of Instruction at Its Fourteenth Anniversary at Pittsfield, Ms.
So honorably distinguished in the annals of human im provement; to us, who are the descendants of a New England ancestry and have been nurtured amid New England institutions; standing as we now do between the illustrious dead on the one hand and the rising progeny of such a noble parentage on the other; charged as we are with the responsible othee of ministering with pure hands and devoted hearts to the intellectual growth of a rising multitude, and of perpetuating to others yet to come the blessings we have richly received, - it cannot be uninteresting to pause a few moments, by the way, and ih quire what improvements have been introduced, and what advancement we have made in an enterprise so worthy of its founders and so necessary to our very existence as a free and self-governing people.
