otherwise (and which opinion, is strongly expressed in the 7th
Para of your Board’s Report to government under date the 11th
December 1815), and viewing the defective state of education in
this district as the fruitful source of much crime, I shall with the
sanction of your Board, be prepared to offer such suggestions
and to propose the establishment of such funds—as will tend to
promote education in some degree more adequate to the demand
for it.
Cutcherry of the Collector of Salem, M.D. Cockburn,
8th July, 1823. Collector.
