Book Description
Excerpt from A History of Education in Pennsylvania: Private and Public, Elementary and Higher, From the Time the Swedes Settled on the Delaware to the Present Day Histories of educational systems and of methods of instruction, and statements showing the condition of education in certain countries at particular times, have been written; but no comprehensive work relating in detail the efforts of a people to provide for their own education, is known to exist. Certainly there is no such work in the English language. The omission seems strange. Surely, if the wars of nations, the intrigues of courts, the plots of politicians, conspiracies and rebellions, changes in the manners and customs of society, and the ups and downs of trade, are worthy of record in historic form, some interest should attach to what has been done by a people to lift themselves up by means of teachers and schools from darkness to light. The time may come, though it now seems distant, when the founding of a College or the organization of a system of instruction for a State will be considered an event of as much importance as the making of a speech or the fighting of a battle. It may even be found, when men and things shall be more justly weighed, that the quiet schoolmaster who thinks only of the task to which God seems to have appointed him, will be considered a factor quite as potent in all that tends to make a people great, as the soldier who so dazzles the public eye, or the politician who manages to fill so much space in the periodicals of the day. There is no patriotism more pure, more elevated, or more deserving of recognition than that of one whose highest ambition it is to store the minds of little children with knowledge, and to guide their footsteps in the path of duty, for in this humble task is involved all that is greatest and grandest in a State. The History of Education in Pennsylvania is of more than ordinary interest, as it throws a flood of light on many events that intimately concern the general history of the Commonwealth.
