Territorial & state charters both say that state government will not interfere with primary disposal of the soil. The primary disposal of section 16 is from general government to township inhabitants. Those charters that interpose the state between the two are inconsistent, confusing, and defeating. This treatise on general government’s powers in relation to internal improvements likewise gives the general government power to provide a uniform code for incorporating township inhabitants as bodies politic for managing (not disposing) the reservation of school land. Washington DC bill referring to public schools uses the word endow, and giving power to the body politic to make laws regarding the set up schools, it is the power to set up rules for public, meaning private, schools without interfering with the rights of parents to choose the education and indoctrination of their children, and making sure that the right does not somehow slip into government control.
