school districts shall, in the years to come, co-operate in happy harmony in cherishing,—each in its respective sphere, the cause of true learning in the western hemisphere. In short, let all well-wishers of their country take something of the same praiseworthy interest in the education of youth as did Thomas Jefferson, and republican institutions may be expected to realize, even more than they do at the present day, a grand ideal of a noble destiny.
