Excerpt from Addresses Delivered at the Organization Meeting of the Department of Public Instruction: April 29, 1871
The Department of Public Instruction, under the recent act of the Legislature amending the city charter, now commences its career under our direction as its Commissioners. I have deemed it proper to give this brief but yet very imperfect survey of the past history and accomplishment of the cause of education in New York, in order that we may be sensibly and properly impressed with the importance of the work In which we are engaged, and with the magnitude of the trust to which we have, by the appointment of the Mayor of New York, succeeded. The change at this time wrought is not in the system of the schools, nor in their administration, nor in the course of instruction. Nothing is extended or diminished. The recent act establishes a connection between the administration of public instruction and the municipal government. The Department of Public Instruction is in name and in fact a branch and department of the city government. If instruction is the business of the State, this is as it should be. Our duties as Commissioners are no more and no less than they were as members of the Board of Education.

Excerpt from Addresses Delivered at the Organization Meeting of the Department of Public Instruction: April 29, 1871
Gentlemen: There is an obligation resting on the State to devise measures to properly educate its youth. A wise minister of state will understand and make provision for this. No government can, with safety to itself, disregard this duty. In this, as in the case of the neglect or omission of any other manifest obligation, the State weakens herself. It is unsafe to leave the organization of a system of education of the young to the suggestions or obligations of parental love, interest, or duty, or to the efforts of individual or associated voluntary benevolence. All experience demonstrates that such dependence produces uncertain and imperfect results. So that it has come to be an acknowledged right to claim from the State, as it is its true interest to bestow, adequate and reliable provision for the best known means, agencies, and appliances for the education of the children of her citizens. It is quite true that Lord Bacon, in discoursing upon the elements of the "true greatness of kingdoms and estates," says that the principal point of greatness in any state "is to have a race of military men," and that it is essential "that the disposition of the people be stout and warlike." But this eminent philosopher was a believer in monarchy and of the rule of hereditary princes, and wrote for the time in which he lived. He favored wars of aggrandizement. And among a military people frequent wars are a necessity to maintain their discipline and preserve domestic peace.
