More from Horace Mann
Out of universal education come genius, skill, and enterprise, and the desire of bettering one’s condition.
Did the law ever contemplate so cruel and revengeful a proceeding?
Not the most fertile soil, not mines of silver and gold, can make a nation rich, without intelligence.
Packed and stowed like merchandise between unventilated decks, so close that the tempest without could not ruffle the pestilential air within, the voyage was begun.
