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.
