Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a thorough history of public education in Lancaster, PA. The author begins with religious-based schools in the 18th century and traces the story of education in the city through the passing of the 'Act to Provide for the Education of the Poor Gratis' in 1809 and the resulting drive to find a better way to teach children whose parents were unable to pay for their education. The book discusses the rise and fall of the Lancasterian System in Lancaster and its replacement by more modern methods, while not shying away from the conflict between proponents of varying philosophies. This fascinating and detailed look at one city's struggle with issues that faced the entire nation in educating its youth adds to our understanding of the development of the public school system in America.
