Cory et. al v. Carter, 48 Ind. 327 (1874)

"The system of common schools in this State has its origin in, and it provided for by, the constitution and laws of the State.  It is purely a domestic institution, and subject to the exclusive control of the constituted authorities of the State.  The Federal Constitution does not provide for any general system of education to be conducted and controlled by the National Government, nor does it vest in Congress any power to exercise a general or special supervision over the states on the subject of education."
