ABSTRACT
On the appointment of a general Committee of Education, it will probably be thought right to modify in some degree the constitution of the Committees charged with the immediate management of the several institutions. They will all of course act, under the directions of the general committee, furnishing to them particular reports of their operations, and submitting through them any suggestions they may see fit to offer for the improvement or wider diffusion of education. Without neglecting the consideration due to particular endowments, the General Committee will of course regard all the funds devoted to purposes of education as forming in a certain sense a common stock: more essentially in whatever regards the preparation or publication of useful works. The question like every one connected with the subject of education is one full of difficulty.
