"If
it is believed that elementary schools will be better managed by the
governor and council, the commissioners of the literary fund or any other
general authority of the government than by the parents within each ward,
it is a belief against all experience. Try the principle one step further,
and commit to the governor and council the management of all our farms,
our mills and merchants' stores. No, my friend, the way to have good and
safe government is not to trust it all to one, but to divide it among the
many, distributing to every one exactly the functions he is competent
to."
~~ Thomas Jefferson ~~>>>
