Theimpartingofit,necessitating,es itdoestheerectionoflargeaad exPensivebuildings,withsuitableaPpointmentsandapparatus,andtL'e providing,maintaining,andsalarying ofastallofqualifiedteachers,isundoubtedlycostly.Onthisaccount, ifitbeheldthattheStateshould bearthecost,theStatedeservesgenerousencouragementandsupport butwhereparentsandguardiansseek inaneducationalcourseandsystem, togetherwiththeusualcommercial, classical,andscientificinstruction,a religiousbringing-upinaparticular faith,combinedwithapracticalmoraldiscipline,thenshouldtheybe preparedliberall:andfaithfoilsto supporttheeducatingbodywhich BIM:fliesthedemand.
