In other words, you can not have a self-govern- 12 Relation of the General Government to Education. Ing community except as it is made up of self-governing individuals; and the only basis of self-government in the community, as in the individual^, is intel- ligence. Education alone may not make a free country; but there can be no such thing as a free country without education. The question whether a free country has a right to educate its citizens is no other than the question whether it has a ...right to live, as a free country. It is both expedient and necessary that the national government work through the agencies established by the states, or others supplementary to them. A national system of common schools with its own machinery of admin- istration and supervision is, in our present condition, an impossible dream. I am the furthest possible from advocating that; but we may as well bear in mind nay. We must bear in mind that things which a few years ago were impossible have become, under changed conditions, not only possible, but necessary.
