Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Necessity and Means of Improving the Common Schools of Connecticut The results of this school system, were great and good. Every hamlet in Connecticut of no more than twenty houses, whether spread out upon the plain, or crowded into the valley, whether sprinkled along the sloping hill-side, or wedged in among the brown rocks of some wild ravine, could show its district school-house, which was regularly Opened for many months in the year. There was hardly to be known the son or daughter of Connecticut, who could not read and write. It was the rarest of all things to see one who had not received a good elementary education. This was reported to the honor of Connecticut throughout the Christian world. The lover of his race, who had been rewarded for his zeal for the elevation of his countrymen, by a life-lease in a Prussian or Austrian dungeon, saw his prison wall all light about him when he thought of the one government in the world that had provided efficiently for the education of the humblest child, and gathered hope for the time, when his government and all governments should do the same. The surly and prejudiced Englishman, when he had said all the hard things that he could think of about America and the Yankees, could always be floored by one argument, and that was the Connecticut School Fund contrasted with the national debt of Great Britain. In our own Union, the other states were reprovedfor their negligence, and spurred on to their duty by the example of what Connecticut had been the first to perform. The emigrant mother in Vermont or Western New York, as she looked around upon her untaught boys and girls, sighed for the schools of Connecticut and was ready to exchange the rich fields that were beginning to look so luxuriant about her, for the most rocky farm within the limits of a Connecticut school district. But within the last twenty years a change in all these respects has taken place. Connecticut no longer holds the same high position which she once did. Austria and Prussia have provided their subjects with an efi'icient and successful Common School system. Other governments in Europe are slowly awaking to their duty and interest in respect to the same high matter. Despotism even is striving to make peace with its wronged and outraged subjects, by giving, in return for the civil rights which it withholds, the substantial blessings of universal education. Many of the states of our own Union are giving themselves to this cause with a zeal and energy which show them determined to make amends for past neglect and torpor. In Massachusetts, Ohio, New York, Georgia, Rhode Island, and many other states, vigorous and successful efforts are made. School funds are accumulated; taxes are readily imposed and cheerfully paid; Boards of Education are instituted periodicals are circulated public lectures are given Normal Schools for the instruction of teachers are provided; teachers' conventions and Institutes are attended with zeal and profit. These, and other signs, show beyond question, that there is a strong movement in the public mind; that the people are being aroused. In some states and parts of states this interest is well-nigh enthusiastic. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Second Annual Report of the Board of Commissioners of Common Schools in Connecticut: Together With the Second Annual Report of the Secretary of the Board; May, 1840 The Board, at its first meeting in June, secured the continued services of Henry Barnard 2d. Esq., a member of the Board, as a Secretary. They have much satisfaction in adding, that this gentleman has, during the last year, as heretofore, prosecuted the important objects confided to him, with the greatest industry faithfulness and ability. Considering, moreover, the magnitude and complexity of the evils to be remedied in our school system and the fixed habits and institutions of society, we find mush cause for congratulation at the success with which his labors have thus far been crowned. By his well-directed zeal and energy, public attention, long dormant, has been awakened to new views of the importance of improvements in the system of school education; an immense amount of valuable information on this subject, has been spread before the community, both by his personal addresses, and through the medium of the Common School Journal, published under his immediate superintendence; benevolent and patriotic citizens in various parts of the State, have been led to examine the subject with an unwonted interest; plans of improvement resulting from his own observations and reflections, or gathered from the experience of sister States, or foreign countries, have been suggested, and in various instances, adopted; and, in short, a beginning has been made in the great work of maturing and reforming our system of school instruction, which, if carried out, will, as we confidently hope, result in exalting the intellectual and moral character of the rising and all future generations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Examination of the School System of Bridgeport, Connecticut To the Special Committee on Investigation of the School System, Bridgeport, Conn. Gentlemen: - I have the honor to present herewith my report upon the condition and needs of the schools of your city. In making this investigation, I have been assisted in portions of the work as follows: In comparing the expenditures for schools in Bridgeport with those of other cities, by Dr. Leonard P. Ayres, Director of the Division of Education, Russell Sage Foundation, New York City. In the study of the City Normal School, by Dr. Andrew W. Edson, Associate Superintendent of Schools, New York City. In the study of the High School situation, by Dr. Henry S. West, of the College for Teachers, University of Cincinnati, serving as a city assistant superintendent of schools, assigned to high school supervision. In the study of the work in history in the grades and the High School, by Mr. Wilbur F. Gordy, specialist in history, Hartford, Conn., formerly Superintendent of Schools, Springfield, Mass. In the study of industrial conditions, by Mr. Egbert E. MacNary, Supervisor of Manual Training and Principal of the Vocational School, Springfield, Mass. In the study of arithmetic work in the grades, by Mr. Edwin Hebden, Director of the Bureau of Statistics and Research, Department of Education, Baltimore, Md. In the study of language work in the grades, by Mr. Edward H. Webster, Head of the Department of English in the High School of Commerce, Springfield, Mass. Without the aid of these men, each of whom is an expert in his particular field, it would have been impossible for me, within the time available, to make sufficiently extended observations in all of the fields covered by this report to give warrant for the positive recommendations which I am now able to present for your consideration. I have, however, spent many days in your schools and have given personal attention to every phase of the school work here discussed. Therefore, while making grateful acknowledgement of the indispensable aid which I have received from each of my assistants, I assume full responsibility for every portion of this report.
