Our Common Schools Visit South of Market Street
By request we inspected common schools south of Market Street yesterday with one or two companions. The house houses four to five apartments with fifty to eighty scholars per class and rooms mostly well ventilated and furnished though seats for younger pupils lack backrests. The system is democratic and worthy, elevating all classes, yet underfunded and neglected. The piece notes the need for better seating and more liberal support, promising further discussion.
