Excerpt from Of the State of New York: As Viewed by a Canadian; Prepared Under the Authority of the Honorable the Minister of Education, as an Appendix to His Annual Report I think no part of the Republic, not excepting even Massachusetts, presents a more valuable study to the educationist than New York.
