Excerpt from Our Common Schools: A Fuller Statement of the Views Set Forth in the Pamphlet Entitled, Our Common-School Education A stranger, traveling through New England, marks with not a little sur prise the multitude of school-houses appearing everywhere at little distances. Familiarized as I am to the sight, they have excited no small interest in my mind, particularly as I was traveling through the settlements recently begun.

This attachment to education in New England is universal, and the situation of that hamlet must be bad indeed which, if it contain a sufficient number of children for a school, does not provide the necessary accommoda tions. In 1803 I found neat school-houses in Colebrook and Stewart, bordering on the Canadian line. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
