Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Board of Education, 1886: Of the State of Connecticut, Presented to the General Assembly, January Session, 1886, Together With the Annual Report of the Secretary of the Board It is made by law the duty of this Board to give to the Legislature an account of the condition of the public schools. It would be very gratifying in performing this duty to be able to flatter the State pride common to us all by assuring your Honorable Body that the schools of Connecticut retain that precedence in excellence which used once to be conceded to them. It is important however that the truth should be told, for if the children of this State are not getting as good an education as ought to be and could be given them, this means that the commonwealth which these children must hereafter sustain will not enjoy the full prosperity which would have been attainable, and it means that life is to be a smaller, a weaker, and a meaner thing for thousands of men and women of the next generation.
