The Vermont School Journal PDF Download

Excerpt from Vermont School Journal, and Family Visitor: Devoted to the Educational Interests of Vermont Eleven reasons were assigned why'private schools should be preferred; but, on examination, it will be seen that Nos. 1, 2, 4 and 11, (all referring to morals, religion or manners) may easily be reduced to one head. So N on. 8 and 9, (all referring to progress in learning) have so very close connection with each other that they can best be treated together. The eleven heads being thus re daood to five, we will see what can be done with them. And first, in respect to the social, moral and religious advantages claimed for the private over the public schools, we are exceedingly incredulous; nay, we are in. Cliued to deny them altogether. We do not deny that some public schools are inferior to some private schools, but that the gobd public school, the model public school, is inferior to the private school. We know very well that the class of children who attend the public school is not always so select, nor is their dress so elegant, nor their language and manners so exceptionable, as of the pupils of the private schools but we are of opinion: nevertheless, that when the balance is struck in each, the preponderance of good in uence will be found to be decidedly on the side -of the institutions supported by the State.
