LETTER FIIOM THE SUPEHINTENDENT. Tu I/is Excel fenny David S. Jtid: Sir: Since iny appointment a.s General Super- iiitendentof Common Schools for the State, I have occupied my time iu travelling, in corresponding with the friends and subordinate officers of the system, and in the study of pojmlar systems of Kdijcation in other States and countries. I tlesire to go info each county iu the State to examine the records of the Common Sidioids, to see for myself what has been done, w hat is doing, and what are the difhculties in the way of greater success; and while travtdling in the different coun ties I wish fo diffuse all the information I Ciin. as well as to obtain the views of other friends of t)ie cause. On this account I have made an ap pointment to didiver a discourse at the county seat ot each cmnty visiteil; a }thm which very materiallv impedes my motions, but whi h I nev ertheless (hem best to pursue, even if but few persons sboiild attend my ap|iointm(Mits, and if I should, as I often do, ii.ive to (Xpose myself fo all kinds of W(!!ither to fulfil engagements made without the power of foreknowing the contingen cies of the future. .>! V object in making public talks is fo diffuse iiiferiiKition, correct what 1 i-oneeivi' to be errone ous opinions, and to stimulate to renewed eflorts tbe frieiidsof jiopubir enligliti’iiment an l improve ment; and to give to the substane*' of these talks the widest jii'ssiide ‘ircubitio'.i, 1 have cuiieluded to addr-'.'S them to you, as :i m irk of resjiect to you !!s the i flicial Ifi-.ad of tlii“ .^t.ife—h'iping also that y.»ur int*rc't iti the sue'ess of our sy.'tem .f Common .'^i bools will induce you to b tid your aid to all effiirts directed to its imiiroveuiiMii.— The Icii't :ic(pi;iinf.aiice with htiin in n.ifure fe:i(di- es 11' that men will m t l.ibor hopefully it; the dark; :ind even slave.^ ha\in^' no iiitere.^t in f'n“ re.'ult of th.'ir bil .irs, will soon tire an.! fnit f'U'tb but fei'ble I'xertious wbei! they canuot see or kii'iw, i:: any way, tin* efb ct of the bloW' wlr.cb tlicy stiike.

Sir, we had no .system of sub- * .scription .sehoobs, to speak properly—perhaps only five men in six could write their own bond', and ^ not one iu live hundred eould under.stand (,reogru- phy, the great science of modern times, write a gnimmatical article for a newspa[ier, survey a piece of land, or demonstrate the simjdest rule in mechanical geometry. To be able to read a j plain text and write their n:iines w;is tlie highest female aceomplisliment of the middle classes; the feimile Acfih ui ic:x were ver}- few and expensive, and the associations higiily ari.stocnitic and ex clusive. We had a T'niver.sify moderate!}’ sueeessfiil and well conducted, but giitliering four-fiths of its pupils from the highest aristocraev’, and sending otf its best scholars to other binds; and we l^ad no other male (’ollege, :ind only tiic Femide High School at Salem. As :i couseiiuence of this state of things the lines of society were broadly marked, and the bi^rli ai-istoeraey b.ad Iieredit.iry cbiims upon all flu* !/reat offices, distinctions, and jrood jH'cuiiiary speculations of the State. \o r.dlei;- tion is me:int on them; it was not their fault which gav(> them the ascend.-incy so long, but the fault of the state of society as regards education.
