Excerpt from Report Upon, and Draught of a Code for the Support of Common Schools

In regard to the distribution of the school fund, the system prevailing in nearly all the eastern states, has been adopted. With scarce an exception in those states, it is provided, that when a county, or town, fails to raise by taxation a specified sum for the support of common schools, that such county, or town, is deprived of all part of the fund furnished by the state. This feature has been found to be of the utmost importance, and to act powerfully in behalf of the cause of education. The inhabitants of counties, or towns, who from a culpable neglect of the best interests of society, are unwilling to subject them, selves to taxation for the education of the poor, are thus te minded, that unless they will bear a portion of the burden, they will not be allowed to enjoy any portion of the fund which the patriotic munificence of the state has created for this pur pose.
