Summary

"This publication is a collection of papers presented in June of 2015 addressing the general history of education in New England throughout the seventeenth to the beginning of the twentieth century. This publication consists of a culmination of many topics regarding education in early New England. The topics range from the upkeep of schoolhouses in colonial Vermont, to the effect of Quakerism on the education of Rhode Island schoolgirls. As well as the direct impact of the first public education institutions for white males in the untested American democracy in colonial Boston and the impact these institutions had on the philosophies and mindsets of young males during revolutionary America." --Publisher's description
