Growing Pains: Quaker Benevolence and School Expansion in Philadelphia's Educational Marketplace, 1730-1780

This essay examines the dynamics of Quaker school expansion in Philadelphia during the eighteenth century. The author argues that both administrators and teachers approached education as a competitive market, which influenced their decisions about hiring, student enrollment, and curriculum. However, Quaker ideas about benevolence also influenced and complicated their understanding of the educational marketplace. / History
