Publisher's Synopsis
""The Educational Significance Of The Early Federal Land Ordinances"" is a book written by Howard Cromwell Taylor and originally published in 1922. The book explores the significance of the early federal land ordinances, specifically the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 and the Land Ordinance of 1785, in shaping the educational system of the United States. Taylor argues that these ordinances, which established a system for the surveying and selling of public lands in the western territories, had a profound impact on the development of education in the United States. He contends that the federal government's commitment to setting aside land for public schools and universities in these territories helped to create a strong foundation for education in the country.The book provides a detailed analysis of the language and intent of the land ordinances, as well as their implementation and impact on the educational system. Taylor also examines the role of key figures such as Thomas Jefferson and Rufus Putnam in shaping the educational policies of the early United States.Overall, ""The Educational Significance Of The Early Federal Land Ordinances"" provides a unique perspective on the history of education in the United States and highlights the important role that federal policies and legislation have played in shaping the educational landscape of the country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
