OUR COMMON SCHOOL In the early days of onr Re public, before we had passed the experimental stagehand when the fate of all previous republics strengthened the belief held by many good people in the United States that the life of our nation would be short, in summing np tie arguments for and against this idea a wise statesman declar ed that "the common schools tmiiaaium or the nation," without them we would soon loose bur freedom and some bold soldier or cunniag politi cian would don emperial robes and rule the country. Another one about the same time, more than a hundred years aeo'ln great oratio ii declared i "Wo must educate! We must educate or wt must perishj" . , ; The people heard and heeded and began the work of establish. ing common schools. , In this great work" they had many ob jections to meet and overcome. he rich had colleges in which they could educate their sons, and academies where their dau ghters could be taught, aud (felt that it was an outrage to : tax them to educate other people's children. The possessors f of arge . colonial grants of land deemed it Utile better than rob bery to make them contribute towards building ' schoolhouses every two or three miles on their baronial holdings. : Many of the small farmers and mechanics entertained a prejudice against schools supported by the public, and looked upon them the same as poor h ousea, for paupers only . Ihroughout extensive regions this prejudice against public free schools, was so strong that many parents, though unable to send their children to schools where tuition had to re paid, were too proud to permit them to attend free schools, and let them grow up illiterate, unable to read ' or write, and thus swelled the illi teracy of their state and greatly hindered the development of the common schools and of their states.;' ' , ; ., . The- literature of the first hundred years of the United States contributed largely to the low estimate in which the com mon ! schools were held. For the first century of our national ity, writers, to evoke a broV grin from their city and college bred reader?, gave grotesque descrip'ious of country schools, the raggeduess of the pupils and ignorance and crule manuers of the teachers. Washington Ir vin's fiction Ichobod Crane was accepted as a true photograph o the" country school teacher and when a writer, whose 'ossified brain had never originated an idea or had visor enough to comprehend tru'h, failiue .-. - o evervthinsr else. Attemntnr) In . . -c - i DeCOUle a Wll, OO lUmea 10 "V6 pedaogui" and his silly eff usiaua were applauded by stamps of "the gouty feet of college professors. The pioneer female teachers were treattd with less justice than the males and when a para, petetio lecturer with "A moony breadth of virgin, face by thought inviolate" vainly tried to be witty he pronounced the word school tuarm with a broad (a) as though it had been soaked in German lager beer and a thrill on the (r) as if it had a t of the ague from long soaking in an Ir'sh bog. . e -The common school of Amer ica has emerged triumphantly from the conflict with prejudice, and in 1800 there were' 15,925, 837 American children enrolled in the . public schools out . f a total of 22,261,863 children of school age, leaving but 6,335,976 out of school or attending pri vate schools, academies or col leges. . Jhat year there were ex pended "$255,208,465 in , main taining the public schools ' of which $11)0,013,734 went to pay 439,596 teachers of whom 317, 204 were females, school marms if you please. ; -' here are many kuds of mpat, I but we sell onlf ne beat kind.
