My cup of joy was full ; and the 19th of April, 1838, has ever since been a red-letter day in my memory. After the vote in the legisla- ture was declared, a witty lawyer said to me, Mr. Brooks, was it an accident, or was it by design, that you had your Prussian CR* hatched on the 19th of April?" One word more for my client, the school-system of Prussia, and I am done. The Prussian system, with its two central powers, a Board of Education and Normal Schools, was not known in New England when I f...irst described it, in public, in 1835 ; but, on the 19th of April, 1838, Massachusetts, the banner State, adopted State Normal Schools by statute. Remembering well how the good leaven spread in 1835-8, I say it was the Prussian system which wrought out the educational regeneration of New England. The beautiful fountain "Arethusa" sank under the ground in Greece, passed under the sea, and re-appeared in Sicily ; but the Sici- lians have never regretted the appearance of that foreign blessing among them.
