Description
Keene, N.H.: Philanthropist Office, 1846. Book. Folio broadside, 14 3/4 x 10 1/2 inches. Text in three columns within ornamental border. Early woodcut oval ownership stamp. Very good. An interesting motivational address to New Hampshire students by the the state's first Commissioner of Common Schools. "It depends as much, upon the scholars as it does upon the teacher, whether the school shall be good or bad. And every boy and every girl should go to school every morning with the feeling that they have, each, a part to perform, a duty to do, that day, in keeping the school." See Appleton's & DAB for Haddock's interesting career in philosophy, diplomacy, politics, railroad building and education..
