Excerpt from A Study of the Moral and Religious Elements in American Secondary Education Up to 1800: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Many assumptions have been made of the religious motives back of American educational activities, but no historical study has been made to determine the actual participation of religious bodies and of the presence of religious incentives as a dynamic of our educational advancement. The purpose of this thesis has been to find out to what extent religious motive was present in the founding of the American educational system. The field opened up so large that it was found advisable to limit the scope of the investigation to the elementary and secondary schools. The study of the universities would be a work for a separate investigation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
