3 This, I believe, stated roughly is the 'conclusion' of the whole matter. And in this I agree with you violently. I incline to think that, if I were you, I would put the "Conclusion" at which you have arrived, & which is quite beyond dispute, broadly: vis. that the shortest & best way is: to set about at once the introduction of the Boarding-out system in the country: (never in a town, unless under compulsion.) [A General must decide which point in the enemy's country she marches for: & then she must calculate her forces & his roads.] Boarding-out solves all the difficulties. You want only - house to recieve the children, - money to pay their board, - Inspector & Committee to see that everything is going on right The new Schools will supply education
