Synopsis
Excerpt from The Contribution of Connecticut to the Common School System of Pennsylvania
It is not without Significance that in the great educational movements in our State many leaders have been men Of New England birth. The debt of Pennsylvania to such New Eng landers as Benjamin Franklin, Timothy Pickering, Thaddeus Stevens, Samuel Breck, Walter Johnson, John S. Hart and others has been acknowledged. It remains to gather up from all avail able sources the facts concerning the contribution which the sturdy group Of Connecticut pioneers made to the educational life Of our great State in the nearly three quarters Of a century which intervened between their coming and the adoption by the State Of the common school system in 1834 - 45.

Paperback. Condition: 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
