Excerpt from A Lecture on the Imperfections of Our Primary Schools, and the Best Method of Correcting Them: Delivered Before the North Carolina Institute of Education at Chapel Hill, June 20th, 1832

The subject which was assigned me for a lecture before the Institute at this time is, ri'he Imperfections'of our Primary Schools, and the best method of correcting them. The proposal and adoption of this, as a subject of discussion, implies a conviction in the minds ofthe pub. Lick, that evils do exist in the system of our primary schools; that those evils are felt and deplored, and that a remedy is anxiously desired. Indeed it can escape the observation of no one, that in the present state of things there is much waste of time and expense, that a large number of our youth make no improvement, and that the attainments of all come far short of what is practicable. To borrow a comparison from another art, we may say, there is a prodigal waste of the raw materials for education, by want of skill in the manufacture.
