in the Constitution, as they were in 1864. I think all
|
|
2
|
of you realize the power of the Constitution, as to
|
|
3
|
changing it later, because there was a real revolution

16
|
to equal educational opportunities. Dr. Paquin made
|
|
17
|
reference to thorough and efficient. He wasn't happy
|
|
18
|
with it.
|
|
19
|
I don't have anything better to suggest,
|
|
20
|
because people these days do make reference to quality

|
education and, if you just say education, maybe that is
