COMPULSORY EDUCATION, It 1s exceedingly diicuit to suggest a proper remedy for whe defective attendance at our puviic sclvols, ‘the compulsory system 18, in my judg- ment, antagonistic to the spirit of our form of gov- ernment; aud however it may have been venetficl- aily enforced under monarchical form it can omy be engraited upon ours with diiculty and danger. We must, probably, bear tor the time the deprivations aud losses ever incident to popularizing uever so ood @ cause, trusting to the rapidly-growing tutel- igeuce of the people to take full advan- tave of the now partially neglected opportu. nities of education. Better such tempo- rary loss than nfer upon the Stale a ower that will almost tuevitably precede the more nquisitorial guardianasnip and more dangerous en- croachments as regards Individual aifairs.
