Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letter to His Excellency Governor Manning on Public Instruction in South Carolina South Carolina College, November, 1853. To His Excellency Governor Manning: I ask the favour of presenting to your Excellency a few reflections upon the subject of Public Instruction in South Carolina. As I feel that I am addressing one whose interest and zeal in the prosperity of letters will induce him to weigh with candour, to estimate with charity, and even to invest with disproportionate value, the crudest hints which spring from the desire to increase the educational facilities of the State, I shall dismiss all apprehensions of being suspected of an officious obtrusion upon your notice. You are the man, above all others, to whom the head of this Institution should look with confidence, to give fresh impulse to the general cause of education; and you will excuse me for saying, that if the suggestions which shall fall from me, or the maturer recommendations which shall come from yourself, shall terminate auspiciously to the wishes of us both, there will be furnished a beautiful instance of Providential retribution, in connecting the name of the first conspicuous benefactor of the South Carolina College with the establishment of an adequate system of common schools. A proud distinction in itself to be the friend and patron of learning, the honour is increased in your case, in that it has been pre-eminently your care, in its higher and lower culture, to dispense its blessings to the poor. Apart from fellowship with God, there cannot be a sweeter satisfaction than that which arises from the consciousness of being a father to the fatherless; and if the ends which, I know, are dear to your heart can only be achieved, every indigent child in the State, looking upon you as its real father, may address you in the modest and glowing terms which the genius of Milton has canonized, as fit expressions of gratitude for the noblest of all gifts.
