IN our country, and in our times, no man is worthy the hon- ored name of statesman who does not include the highest practicable education of the people in all his plans of adminis- tration. He may have eloquence; he may have a knowledge of all history, diplomacy, jurisprudence; and by these he might claim, in other countries, the elevated rank of a statesman; but, unless he speaks, plans, labors, at all times in all places, for the culture and edification of the whole people, he is not, he can nor be, an American statesman.

Horace SMann.
