Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economic Influences Upon Educational Progress in the United States, 1820-1850: A These Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of Wisconsin, 1906 In a progressive age institutions, - legal, political, social and educational, ' - always lag behind economic progress. This is the normal result due to the action of reactionary or conservative forces, called precedent, which are crystallized into law, custom and sentiment. In order to understand the progress of educa tion, the modifications in its methods, aims and values, it is. Necessary to consider not only the changing social, economic and political conditions during our special period, but also to roughly survey the preceding period in which are found the roots of the later vigorous growth, or, in other words, the modi fying and restraining influences which bear upon progress dur ing the later epoch. The influence of New England was very marked throughout the entire westward movement of population. New England men became leaders, and carried with them and impressed upon the various new communities, New England customs, manners, religious beliefs and educational methods. Imitation played a considerable role in the development of the West. The other settlers were dominated and influenced by the strong, individ ualistic man from New England, and were soc-n found adopt ing the customs and ideals of the latter. On account of this fact, if for no other reason, the attention may during the study of the early period of our history, be directed chiefly to New England.
