Excerpt from The Contribution of Connecticut to the Common School System of Pennsylvania
Of all the colonies in America, Pennsylvania was the most mixed in population, religion and language. Among the nation alities represented were Dutch, Swedes, English, Germans, scotch-irish, Welsh, Swiss and a few French. In religion there were Quakers, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans, Reformed and the various other German sects whose number it is difficult to estimate. With all these groups the working out Of a common educational practice was far more difficult and a slower process than among the homogeneous settlers in the New England states. Religious and consequent political antagonisms appear as a prominent factor in the final educational adjustment which was wrought out in our Common wealth by the adoption in 1834 - 5 Of a state system Of common schools.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the Connecticut settlers who attempted to establish a colony in the Wyoming region of Pennsylvania in the 18th century. The author delves into the educational ideals of these New Englanders and their efforts to introduce their school system into the pioneer community they sought to build. These settlers, largely from Connecticut, brought with them a strong commitment to education, which they saw as an essential element of their democratic society. Despite the challenges of establishing a colony in a new and often hostile environment, they immediately set about making provision for schools. Their actions laid the foundation for a public school system that would serve the Wyoming Valley for nearly a century before being adopted by the state of Pennsylvania. This book provides a valuable glimpse into the development of education in the United States and the role that early settlers played in shaping its future.
