Extractions: EDUCATION The public schools in New Jersey did not receive significant attention until the beginning of the nineteenth century. During the colonial era, the proprietary government attempted to grant charters to the townships allowing land to be set aside for schools and the enactment of school taxes; but lawmakers failed to convince citizens of the importance of this. Thus, unlike colonies such as Massachusetts and Connecticut, schooling remained a private and parochial responsibility. [ In the South Jersey region, Quakers sponsored the earliest schools. Thomas Budd, a Quaker leader and intellectual, recorded the Quaker response to education in 1685 in the book Good Order Established in Pennsylvania and New Jersey in America: Being a True Account of the Country . In it Budd suggests that New Jersey legally require parents to enroll their children in school for at least seven years; that municipalities provide schools and teachers; and that boys and girls be instructed in reading, writing, arithmetic, English, Latin, and bookkeeping, in addition to boys learning a trade and girls learning spinning, weaving, knitting, sewing, and needlework. From 1746-87, Quakers made further efforts to ensure their children's education, recorded in the

Extractions: Volume Two- pp. 683-699. CHAPTER XXXI. WILMINGTON (Continued). THE SCHOOLS OF WILMINGTON. THE first school within the present limits of Wilmington was opened before 1700 under the direction of the pastor of Old Swedes Church. It was continued for nearly a century, and among its early teachers was the brother of Emanuel Swedenborg. In 1716 Lars Gooding was the teacher. A portion of the house of Johan Gustafson was used as the school-room. The names of the pupils will indicate their nationality. The exercises of this opening day began with a prayer and a speech by the pastor. The teacher then examined his pupils, and placed on record the following: "Gustaf, son of Johann Gustafson, 9 years old. He can read his catechism tolerably and answer nice questions in doctrines. "Peter, son of the same, can recite the ten commandments tolerably. "Mary Geens, 9 years, can read Swedish and recite the ten commandments. "Annika, daughter of Mans Gustof, 6 years old, can read Swedish tolerably. "Catharine, daughter of Andraes Gustafson, 12 years old, can read a book, but must begin with spelling right.

Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Maps ... World Civilizations Encyclopedia of North American Indians The roots of modern Pan-Indian organizations lie in the eighteenth century in the eastern United States in what was still English colonial America. Pontiac, an Ottawa leader, attempted to create an intertribal league to resist the continued invasions of the English. His political and military vision was combined with the religious vision of the Delaware prophet Neolin, who promised the return of Indian lands by supernatural means if native people who joined the league observed a set of ethical standards that represented a mixture of Indian and Christian beliefs. Pontiac's vision, which foresaw an intertribal league committed to a program of both individual and societal reform in defense of Indian interests, was to be repeated several times during the following centuries. In the early nineteenth century Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa, also called the Shawnee Prophet, created an alliance from a number of northeastern and midwestern tribes. Tecumseh traveled widely and built a large following, but his influence was shattered when Tenskwatawa, against his brother's orders, fought William Henry Harrison at Tippecanoe and was soundly defeated. In the aftermath of that defeat the intertribal confederacy unraveled. In the late nineteenth century two movements set the stage for the development of modern Pan-Indian organizations. The first was the attempt by tribes in Indian Territory (Oklahoma) to create an Indian state. These tribes had been relocated from the eastern and southern states to what had been described as the last refuge for Indian sovereignty, and by 1887 some were hoping that the next logical step would be a Pan-Indian commonwealth with "one common government, with common laws, officials, and institutions." Unfortunately, non-Indian economic and political forces were able to force a different future for the Oklahoma tribes.

Extractions: MOHICAN PRESS COLLECTIBLES ... BOOKSTORE Onward Christian Warriors! Jonathan Edwards' missionary period at Stockbridge would last from 1751 - 1757. The Edwards years were marked by war on two fronts; a bitter power struggle between rival families, and yet another conflict between England and France. The former was a fight for control of land, lives, and souls. The latter, a final struggle for control of an entire continent. The Mohicans of Stockbridge were both players and pawns of both. Despite the hostilities that plagued the settlement, there was an element of Rockwellian tranquility to be found at Stockbridge. Such was the picture painted by Edwards' daughter Esther in her journals. She describes with fondness and sincerity a pleasant, almost quaint settlement, replete with sledding, dancing, and close friendships between Mohican and colonial children. So constant was the companionship of the children of Stockbridge that many English children, including Edwards', were not only well versed in Mohican, but knew words and names in the Algonquian tongue that they knew no English for. As idyllic the picture may have been through a child's eyes, there was nonetheless a storm of controversy on the horizon. The object of the dispute were the Stockbridge children themselves. Edwards' predecessor, John Sergeant, had laid the foundation for the conflict through his efforts to establish a boarding school. The impetus for such an endeavor, aside from the obvious motive of education, was a desire to offset the ever present "danger" the Christian Mohicans were vulnerable to; taverns, trading posts, fort life, lack of discipline among children, cultural tendency toward "idleness", and the increasing numbers of non-Christian Mohicans who were taking up residence at Stockbridge. Sergeant concluded the only way to set the Mohicans firmly rooted in Calvinistic doctrine was via education of their children. Edwards agreed and this daunting task, with all the accompanying unpleasantries, was his first inheritance as the new Stockbridge minister.

Posted by: mj on August 21, 2003 05:47 PM Don't know anything about the school in this movie, which I've never seen and never plan to see, but I did go to the summer camp where the original Friday the 13th movie was filmed. It was a Boy Scout camp in northwestern New Jersey, near Blairstown, called Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco. I think the scouts sold it some years after the last year I went there in the late 1960s and before the movie was filmed. It was spooky to see so many scenes in places I had been.
