INTRODUCTION TWENTY-FIVE years ago the name of Christopher. Dock, the pious schoolmaster on the Skippack, was unknown to the reading world, and the light of local fame, extending from 0-ermantown to Goshenhoppen, whicli in the eighteenth century gave a genial glow to Ms life, had faded to an almost imperceptible ember. To-day it is no exaggeration to say that any treatise upon pedagogy which should omit recognition of his important labors would be re-

garded as a

failure,

and

his reputation as a leader

in educational development in America is universally recognized.

authors have vied with each other in doing homage to the memory of one so worthy. To have written the earliest American book upon the subject of school teaching is a fact sufficient in

much emphasized when

of letters, but that fact is the study of Ms essay discloses that he was far in advance of Ms time and that in Ms methods of teaching and of enforcing discipline he forecast

what more recent experience has proven to be correct.

Moreover, he was virtuous in

life,

sweet in dis-

position and lovable in character, so that when the simple people who surrounded him, grown to maturity, sought to impress upon their cMldren an example of modest merit, they ever recurred to the

conduct of the pious Schoolmaster.

INTRODUCTION" Becently the Mennonitcs of Pennsylvania have been introduced into modern literature in a romance, the motive of which is an effort to show their disregard for learning. It is rather remarkable that

dawn

of our science of pedagogy and the most extensive literary production of the American colothe

were both due to the efforts of these interesting people. Dr. Martin GK Brumbaugh, the able Supernies

intendent of the public schools of Philadelphia, has assumed the congenial task of gathering into this volume all of the works of Dock, in order that

they

may have

a wider circulation

among

the read-

ing public. It is fortunate for the future fame of the venerable Schoolmaster that his accomplishment has been appreciated by one so entirely capable of doing him justice and whose industry has left no source of information uninvestigated.

CHRISTOPHER DOCK To

the sturdy German stock that came to the Colony of Pennsylvania in the first half of the

eighteenth century we are indebted for more of the initial influences that have made for the progress and prestige of our American civilization than many historians record or know.

By a strange perversity from another the traditional have one they accepted misconception of these people for which Benjamin Franklin and Provost William Smith are largely responsible. It is the exception, not the rule, to find and chroniclers, a rare spirit, imbued with insight and sympathy, who patiently

To Governor Pennypacker many of the younger men, who love, as he does, the great Commonwealth, are indebted for inspiration, guidance and knowledge concerning

life in

Colonial Pennsylvania.

To

him the writer gratefully acknowledges his indebtedness for a first acquaintance and for many facts that have to do with the simple but significant life and work of Pennsylvania's pioneer author-edu11

early concerned for the better education of the children of his Q-erman neighbors. He was encouraged to teach by Christopher Saur and other leaders

among the Germans of Colonial Pennsylvania. Of his education and career in Germany no reliable data can now be given. There is a tradition that he

had been drafted into the

Army and that he

was discharged because of his religious convictions, which led him to refuse to bear arms. Not later than 1718, Governor Pennypacker thinks in 1714, Dock opened a school among the Mennonites on the Skippaek in what is now Montgomery County. He believed he was divinely called to teach; and, although the compensation was exceedingly meagre, he continued this school for ten years. At the expiration of this period he engaged in farming. On of the Penns for

Dutch merchant, who came to G-ermantown in 1687 secured from Penn by letters patent a tract of land containing about six thousand one hundred and sixty-six acres. This is the famous Bebber s Township which in 1731 became the possession of Hendrick Pannebecker. 2 By deed, dated June 8, 1717, Van Bebber conveyed to seven trustees one hundred ?

acres of this ground, stipulating therein that "it shall be lawful for all and every the inhabitants of

the aboves'd Bobber's Township to build a school house, and fence in a sufficient burying place upon

the herein granted one hundred acres of land there to have their children and those of their respective families taught and instructed, and to bury their

dead." This Van Bebber did in consideration of "the true love and singular effection he the said

Matthias Van Bebber bears to them and all theirs." These provisions, as Governor Pennypaeker points out, are "without precedent in our Annals, and have never been followed elsewhere." The school thus provided was conducted by Christopher Dock, and it was here in 1750 that he wrote the Schul-ordnung, and in 1764 the several articles that Saur published in the Geistliches Magamen. It is significant to note that Saur solicited contribu-

Maga&ien from few American authors. Two alone were regarded by the great printer as

The manuscript of the Schul-ordnung

Dock completed the Schul-ordnung August 8, 1750. The manuscript was given to Saur with the stipulation that it was not to be published during the lifetime of the author. For nearly a score of

years the manuscript lay unused*

In

1758, the elder Saur died, and his son, Dock's pupil, succeeded to the large publishing interests of his father.

Finally, in 1769, some "friends of the common good" succeeded in overcoming the author's scruples and secured his consent to its publication. This

was, no doubt, an easier task after Saur had published in the G-eistliches Magaaien a number of arti-

by Dock. But alas the manuscript, so long unused, was nowhere to be found. Saur feared it had been sold along with some waste paper* People began to intimate that Saur really did not wish to publish it and had purposely put it away. Saur advertised its loss in Ms newspaper and offered a reward for its return. Dock, with characteristic modesty, sent a messenger to Saur to say "that I should not trouble myself about the writing, it had cles written

Saur found the manuscript in a place where he and his employees had thoroughly searched and it was at once published in the form in which it is herein reproduced.

The demand f or the pamphlet was so great that a second edition was printed in the same year 1770.

Governor Pennypacker and appears in the above " recited volume under the caption, Christopher the on Pious the Schoolmaster Dock, Skippack, and His Works/' This present volume is the next to the modern student an insight into attempt give the rare spirit of this unique teacher. It is, moreover, the first time that all of Dock's literary remains, with translations, have been collected and published.

Dock was not only a great

teacher and author

of pedagogical works, but he was the composer of many beautiful hymns. These will be found in the

volume and, to reveal his skill as a penman as well as his accomplishments as a hymn-writer, I herewith reproduce one of the most beautiful of his ;

existing manuscripts. The elder Saur was

This resulted in Saur publishing in Ms almanac for 1752 an article in the form of a dialogue. In this article Saur, in discussing with a master.

But as it was at the time of the Apostles iii, 17). and how it is in our so-called Christendom those can see best whose spiritual eyes are opened, I will leave the question open, and comply with my friend's request, feeling certain that he means well for the children's good.

very likely to say to the children, your former mother raised you according to her ideas, I will follow mine. Then it would be of little use to the children that their mother wrote in pure love. Yet the mother did her part, even as St. Paul when he wrote: "Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an example/' Now those who do not desire to do as told in the seventeenth verse, but prefer the opposite, as the Apostle, weeping, wrote in the eighteenth and nine-

The great work of the redemption of the human race was also universal, and if we had accepted it universally, believed, and followed in love the footsteps of Christ we would be firmly grounded in it.

and the head of the woman is the man." Now it Is beyond doubt true that If In his life and teachings the man follows Christ, and the woman the man, the children will follow their parents and teachers and obey them. So that sincere love fully specifies the weight of Christian duty. And yet in all this we have done no more than our duty, and blessedness still remains only a gracious gift. But all Christian duties are steps that we must place our feet upon, step by step. If we seek salvation our Lord Jesus has given us directions. While no man can deny another God's mercy, because without it we cannot live, there exists this difference between wise men and virgins and foolish men and virgins; between faithful and faithless servants: there is a difference of work, and unequal reward of grace or disgrace. So it is much better that we begin here in time of grace to walk the road that G-od has promised than to take the risk of sinning and remaining in sin, letting grace be so much mightier. (See

Now If the Christian's place is vi, 1, 2.) thus fixed, that Christ is the head of the church, and therefore of each man, it is a foregone conclusion that it is each man's duty to teach what his master has taught him unto Ms wife also, whose Romans,
