Synopsis

A thorough study of early Dutch schools in New Netherland and colonial New York reveals how education began, who taught, and how communities supported learning in the 17th and 18th centuries. The work covers village schools, city schools, and the connections between church, state, and schoolmasters, showing how funding and oversight shaped everyday schooling.

This edition focuses on the Dutch roots of schooling in places like Flatbush, Midwoud, Beverwyck, Brooklyn, and New Amsterdam, tracing the people, contracts, and conditions that made education possible. It also examines how schoolhouses, curricula, and language use evolved as communities grew and new languages emerged in America.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
