Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education Reform: A Review of Wyse on the Necessity of a National System of Education, Comprising the Substance of That Work, So Far as Relates to Common School and Popular Education The following sheets are, in reality, not so much a Review of Mr. Wyse's work on Education Reform, as an attempt to lay before the reader that part of it, which is more particularly applicable to Common Schools. The defects in practical education which the author so feelingly deplores, are such as our own countrymen have not been slow to discover, and we believe that neither to Prussia, Germany, nor Switzerland, will they yield the palm in the earnest search for more approved means of general instruction. The question has of late been kept alive in the Union, by various publication of some improved system, and will therefore be likely to give grave attention to a work put forth by one who has attained a well-earned celebrity for his exertion in the cause, and whose opinions are listened to with profound respect, by persons of every political temperament. The work from which this summary is extracted is comprehensive in its view, but extended in its details; it is, therefore, one to which public men would at this juncture be hardly disposed to give so large a share of consideration as every part deserves; and it contains some matters also, which, however important in the abstract, are not so immediately pressing as others. Those observation, however, which have reference to Popular Education and its concomitants, come home to the bosom of every man, in every grade of society, and are vitally connected with good order, both moral and political, and therefore can be neither too early no too generally diffused.
