Abstract
[In 1795, when the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia sponsored an essay contest on the topic of a national system of public schooling, few Americans had begun to consider the place of females in such a system. One prize-winner, Samuel Knox, recommended public elementary schools enrolling both sexes, but the second winner, Samuel H. Smith, decided not to include any mention of female education in his essay, explaining that there was too much “diversity of opinion” to do the issue justice.1]
