- W1604883740 abstract "The “sleepy” period: enrollment levels in the American Northeast, 1800–1840 Leading political theorists of the Revolutionary generation considered an educated citizenry essential to the survival of the American republic. Some, like Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Rush, devised plans for systems of common schooling. But these plans generally came to naught, and the discussion of them has too long dominated the educational historiography of this period. If the fragile American nation could be saved only by an educated citizenry, and if an educated citizenry could be maintained only by a state system of common schools, why were two generations of town officials and state legislators so lackadaisical about providing systematic, universal education? Why was there a lag of forty years between the creation of the republic and the creation of a state board of education in Massachusetts? Perhaps the public did not share the anxieties of the Founding Fathers about the American polity. Perhaps they shared their anxieties but did not share their faith that schooling would preserve republican institutions. Perhaps, on the contrary, they agreed with both propositions but believed that schooling in their society was ample and that most children received the kind of rudimentary intellectual and moral training the political theorists had in mind, even though much schooling was neither publicly controlled nor free. We believe that this third explanation best fits the evidence, and we believe that research into the educational history of the early United States should, for its central focus, turn from the unfulfilled plans of political elites to local patterns of schooling and other forms of education, that is, from the intellectual to the social history of education." @default.
