8247. TALENTS, Hidden.—

The object
[of my educational bill] is to bring into
action that mass of talents which lies buried
in poverty in every country, for want of the
means of development, and thus give activity
to a mass of mind, which, in proportion to
our population, shall be the double or treble
of what it is in most countries.—
