Excerpt from Report of the Minority of the Committee of the Primary School Board: On the Caste Schools
The assertion, that Mr. Fletcher's opinion is not applicable to the separate schools of Boston, is not true. The whole scope and force of his reasoning from beginning to end, as well as the terms m which he states his conclusions, show that his Opinion 1s entirely applicable to the case where districts do not exist. He nowhere alludes to their existence in Salem, although his attention is called to them in the statement submitted to him, nor draws a single inference therefrom. He could not say that his conclusions are inapplicable to this city, without taking back every line and word which he has uttered. No better summary of our views upon this question can be made, than by adopting the following language from his opinion.
The principle of perfect equality, is the vital principle of the system (our free school system.) Here all classes of the community mingle together. The rich and the poor meet upon terms of equality, and are prepared to discharge the duties of life by the same instructions. It is the principle Of equality, cherished in the free schools, on which our. Free government and free institutions rest. Destroy this principle in the schools, and the people would soon cease to be a free people.
