The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
What is the general view the townspeople have towards public education? And what are some examples?
None.
None.
People in the community felt public schooling was a financial burden.
"That all this might not be too onerous on the purses of his rustic patrons, who are apt to consider the cost of schooling a grievous burden, and schoolmasters as mere drones, he had various ways of rendering himself both useful and agreeable."
