In 1806, Benjamin Rush wrote the following “On the Mode of Education Proper in a Republic”:
[T]he only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be laid in religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments.
