Whatever opinions we may personally entertain on this subject , there can be : no doubt that it is the solemn duty of the representatives ot the people to pro- , vide ail ths means in their power for the instruction and education ol every child ; in the State. j We must have a general, uniform, an 1 ' universal common sch tol system.
