Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Free Schools: A Documentary History of the Free School Movement in New York State
The accepted doctrine in America today is that all the property of the state must educate all the children of the state and that each child in the state has not only the inherent right to attend school but that, in the interests of the state itself, must attend. The history revealed through the sources given in this volume will show that New York has made a rich contribution to the establishment of this accepted American principle.
