Education Built a Nation from Pilgrims to Public Schools
Joseph W. Preisinger traces American education from the Pilgrims through colonial free schools to a nationwide system. He notes land grants for schools, the 1787 Northwest Ordinance commitment, 140 million acres aiding schools, and the rise to about 500 colleges with 15 million students paying over 125 million dollars yearly. He argues public schooling underpins safety, industry, invention, and care for the disabled, with examples from deaf and blind education and a Leipzig scholar’s dictionary project. The piece ends with a brief note on McKinley era traveling salesmen facing trusts and campaign shifts.
