Kansas is not exceptional in this respect. Other Northwestern States received donations of the same kind. I want another fact to be taken into consideration. that in consequence of those Northwestern States having within their borders the finest lands on this American continent. there was a wondrous rush of immigration there. and nearlyall the present population of those States came to them already educated. They were educated in the older States. and therelbre the new States in whose borders they now reside are not entitled to the credit of their literacy. I find that notwithstanding all that the States of the South have gone through. notwithstanding the universal destruction of their property and the overthrow of their governments and the desolation of their homes and their fields by war. and the destruction of their securities. trust funds. and what not. the State of North Corolina has more public schools than the State of Kansas.
