566 - L. May 19; ed:2/2 - "Every township after the Lord hath increased them
to the number of 50 householders, shall appoint one to teach all the chil-
dren to read and write; and when any township shall increase to the number
of one hundred families, they shall set up a grammar school, the master
thereof being able to instruct youth so far as they may be fitted for the
ministry." - Massachusetts LEGISLATURE 1647.
"But I thank God there are no free schools, and I hope we shall not have
these hundred years; for learning has brought disobedience, and heresy, and
sects into the world, and printing has divulged them, and libels against
the best governments. God keep us from both." Gov. Berkeley of Virginia
1671. - - -
"These characteristic documents show that in this instance 'coming events
cast their shadows' sometimes 'before.' They are remarkably correct conden-
sations of the antagonistic civilizations that have come to maturity upon
the continent since they were written." (17)
