Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes an in-depth look at the history of The Palmyra Academy, one of several academies which furnished educational facilities in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, before the establishment of high schools. The Palmyra Academy was unique in that it was the private affair of its founder and principal, Peter B. Witmer. Unlike other schools of its kind, it was not funded through community donations, but solely through the efforts of Witmer himself. The book follows the history of the Academy from its establishment in the mid-1800s to its eventual closure, providing insights into the educational landscape of the time and the role of private academies in expanding educational opportunities beyond the common schools. Through the experiences of students and teachers at the academy, the book sheds light on the challenges and rewards of education in 19th century rural Pennsylvania, capturing the spirit of a bygone era in American education.
