In the Report of the Pennsylvania Society for the Promotion of Public Schools, dated April 28, 1831, it is said, "There is reason to believe that the attention of the citizens is so awakened to the importance of establishing public schools, that the attempt will not hereafter fail to be encouraged. The society will recollect, that a...t their last meeting, [Oct. 11, 1830,] there was read a memorial, proposed to be I presented to the legislature, which contained statements relative to the great deficiency j in the means of education in various parts of the state, and urged the importance of I I speedily applying a remedy to this evil."
