At the time Minnesota was settled our country was experiencing the great common school revival of the 19th century. and Minnesotans. like other Americans. placed unbounded faith in education. Equally great was the enthusiasm of the settlers who poured into the State from Europe during the late 19th century. The early immigrants of Minnesota were. for the most part. literate people. Many had read about the State in guidebooks scattered over Europe. and all were eager for more education for themselves and their children. It is largely in the schools that Minnesota has made what many consider its chief contribution to the country as a wholeprogress in the art of learning to live together.
