Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book is a collection of reports and drafts for a code of laws intended to reform public education in 19th century Maryland, influenced by contemporary progressive systems such as those of New York and Massachusetts. The author presents a detailed argument for the adoption of a free, universal, common school system in the state of Maryland, including a plan for funding and administration. The author also advocates for the professionalization of teaching, arguing that teachers should be licensed and regularly inspected by the state to ensure quality of instruction. The author supports these arguments by presenting copious data, including statistics and reports on crime rates, literacy, and the state of education in early 19th century Maryland. The author argues that the adoption of these reforms is essential to the preservation of republican government and argues for the crucial importance of education in shaping individual character and fostering democratic values. This book will be of interest to historians of education and anyone interested in the history of Maryland. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. …
