Massachusetts School Laws : ウィキペディア英語版 | Massachusetts School Laws The Massachusetts School Laws were three legislative acts of 1642, 1647 and 1648 enacted in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The most famous by far is the law of 1647, also known as the Old Deluder Satan Law (after the law's first sentence) and The General School Law of 1642. These laws are commonly regarded as the historical first step toward compulsory government-directed public education in the United States of America. Shortly after they passed, similar laws were enacted in the other New England colonies.〔Eric R. Eberling, ''Massachusetts Education Laws of 1642, 1647, and 1648", in "Historical Dictionary of American Education'', ed. Richard J. Altenbaugh. Greenwood Press, 1999. ISBN 0-313-28590-X〕 Most mid-Atlantic colonies followed suit, though in some Southern colonies it was a further century before publicly funded schools were established there.〔Patrick W. Shannon, ''Broken Promises: Reading Instruction in Twentieth-Century America'', p. 3. Praeger/Greenwood, 1989. ISBN 0-89789-161-9〕 == Education provision prior to the 1647 Act ==
The law was one of a series of legislative acts directed at public education in the colony. The first Massachusetts School Law of 1642 broke with English tradition by transferring educational supervision from the clergy to the selectmen of the colony, empowering them to assess the education of children "to read & understand the principles of religion and the capital laws of this country." It held parents and masters responsible for their children's and apprentices' ability to read and write, stressing education rather than schooling. However, its implementation appears to have been somewhat neglected. Probably in response to this, the 1647 law was enacted by the Massachusetts General Court to impel the towns of the colony to found, operate and fund schools.〔
