Frederick Academy and Maryland education policy change
A long examination of Frederick County education traces a 1797 act reorganizing the county school into the Visitors of Frederick County School led by Rev. Samuel Knox. It links Knox's essay to Jefferson's University of Virginia and argues for broader state support, stronger academies, and renewed alumni involvement to advance secondary education in Maryland beyond two colleges.
