1 janv. 1647 - Old Deluder Satan Act.
Description:
This act had every town of 50 or more households hire a teacher for reading and writing. The general purpose of this act was to make citizens understand the bible and thwart Satan's trickery. However, this was important to the development of schools not just for religious purposes, but the creation of an idea that public education could benefit our country.Ajouté au bande de temps:
