“A plan was formerly proposed to the legislature of this State for laying off every county
into hundreds or wards
of five or six miles square, within each of which should be a school for the education of the children of the ward, wherein they should receive three years' instruction gratis, in reading, writing, arithmetic as far as fractions, the roots and ratios, and geography.”
(
Thomas Jefferson
, Letter to Peter Carr
