An 1842 Consultant's Report on New York Public School Issues

Abstract: A 7 page paper examining the issues facing the Public School Society in 1842, specifically what to do with the Catholic portion of New York City's population. Written to Governor Seward, the paper identifies alternatives available, discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each, and then makes recommendation that not only Catholics - as citizens under the US Constitution - but even women and "colored" (this is set in 1842 and uses the terminology of the era) also be allowed the privilege of public education. No sources listed.
