Publisher's Synopsis
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
The present History was begun many years ago, and has cost a vast amount of labor. That it is correct in all its details, covering as they do a history of two hundred and fifty years, is not to be expected, the sins of omission in particular must be numerous, and some of them may appear inexcusable; but it is believed that the narrative presents, as a whole, a fair picture of what has been done in Pennsylvania to educate the people. At least an honest, patient effort has been made to accomplish that end.
