Which opinion is stated in the article? Horace Mann founded the Common School Journal in 1838 as part of his campaign to improve public education. In 1852, editor William B. Fowle stated the publication's position on education.We have contended that it is clearly the duty of government to see that the whole people are educated—but that the duty has been sadly neglected by both the general and state governments—the former doing nothing, and the latter nothing more than they are compelled to do. We have shown that while some States have what are called good free schools, others have none, or only poor ones; that, while some towns of a State have schools of a high order, and enough of them, other towns have only poor apologies for schools; and, finally, that, while some districts of a town have a good school, the other districts of the same town have nothing that deserves the name. We have maintained that such a state of things is inconsistent with our duty to the rising generation, every child of which has an equal right to an education, and to an education equal to the best. If education is necessary to . . . the progress of civilization, . . . then do we hold the government responsible for the education of every child . . . the government is bound to see that the work is done, effectually done, and that no child is any longer to be cursed with ignorance. . .A:A. Only wealthy children have a right to an education.B:B. Every child has an equal right to an education.C:C. Only children in certain states have a right to an education.D:D. The government is doing a good job providing public education.
