NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOLS AND ACADEMIES 1790-1840 N A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY BY CHARLES L. COON 1 RALEIGH EDWARDS & BROUGHTON PRINTING COMPANY STATE PRINTERS AND BINDERS 1915 20 PREFATORY NOTE The documents brought together in this volume attempt to portray education as it existed in North Carolina during the fifty years immediately succeeding 1790. In two former volumes covering this same period an attempt was made to trace the development of the sentiment which led to the passage of our first public school law in 1839. In many ways this volume supplements the material brought together in the Beginnings of Public Education in North Carolina 1790-1840. No claim is made that these documents are entirely complete. It has been impossible to get first hand information about many schools of the period. However, these documents are representative and typical. C. L. C. |
