Who was the mennonite school teacher who greatly influenced american schools?
1710 - Christopher Dock, a Mennonite and one of Pennsylvania's
most famous educators, arrives from Germany and later opens a
school in Montgomery County, PA. Dock's book, Schul-Ordnung
(meaning school management), published in 1770, is the first book
about teaching printed in colonial America. Typical of those in the
middle colonies, schools in Pennsylvania are established not only
by the Mennonites, but by the Quakers and other religious groups as
well.
