Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of Education in New-Hampshire: A Discourse, Delivered Before the New-Hampshire Historical Society, at Their Annual Meeting in Concord, June 12, 1833 Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Historical Society - The brief hour which I have the honor, by your appointment, to occupy this evening, shall be devoted to the History of Education in New-Hampshire: a subject which however little it may flatter our vanity, inspire admiration of native genius or enkindle literary enthusiasm; may yet claim this solid advantage - it will show one essential part of the foundation on which our free Institutions rest, teach us to venerate the character of our ancestors, and point out some of the most important duties which we owe to posterity. The system of education now prevalent in New-England is the offspring of the personal character and of the civil and religious polity of the first settlers. To give therefore the history of education in a particular State, we must revert to the original settlers and ascertain the motives which governed them. If then we ask, first, what induced the Puritans in Holland; and next, what, those in England of the Massachusetts colony, to emigrate to this country - the answer is one. It was chiefly to enjoy and propagate their religion; but next to this and subsidiary to it, it was to educate their children.
