Excerpt from The History of Education in Delaware The genesis of education in Delaware must be sought amidst the struggles of the Swedes, the Dutch, and the English for the banks of the Delaware. To separate the earliest educational history of the colo nies which emerged from this conflict is almost a hopeless task, for they were at first much alike in customs and in government.
