Summary

In“Free Schools” by DeWitt Clinton, Clinton believes that education should be for everyone and school should be free that way everybody could be able to attend to school and educate themselves. He brings up people such as John Locke and says that Locke used to think that education was not that important. Clinton suggests that a good education would stop the ignorance, the main cause of most of the crimes and the root of bad governments. He points out the type of education a wealthy kid would receive and how poor can the education of a low-class member be. Almost as it only rich people would have the right to knowledge while the poor would have to spend the rest of their lives being excluded from this right.
