The control of education is in no way inherent in the local selfgovernment except as the legislatures have chosen to make it so. 3. Public education is principally a separate field distinct from local government.
Page 1 - Yet the municipal laws of most countries seem to be defective in this point, by not constraining the parent to bestow a proper education upon his children. Perhaps they thought it punishment enough to leave the parent, who neglects the instruction of his family, to labor under those griefs and inconveniences which his family, so uninstructed, will be sure to bring upon him.
