Excerpt from A History of Public Permanent Common School Funds in the United States, 1795-1905 The existence to-day of public schools in most of our states may be said to be due directly, though of course by no means solely, to vast endowment funds provided by previous genera: tions. In View of the part these funds have played in nearly every state, it is surprising that they have received so little atten tion from historians. The two most widely known histories of education in the United States, Boone's and Dexter's, give almost no information regarding them. Boone limits his discussion to about seven pages and Dexter, his to two pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
