Of what consequence is that land as a means of the education of children unless it can be sold? What market is there for it.? Only as emigration goes. and as railroads are built. and as communities are established. so that all the other tremendous expenditure which attends the colonization and the development of a new country has to go on and has to be made in equal step with the development of schools. It is the great fact that the children are not educated that we are dealing with. and it is upon that that the friends of this bill plant. as I think impregnably plant. the arguments in its favor. I have here a recent communication which will be deemed of importance as showing -the condition of white illiteracy in a by no means exceptional portion of the South.
