  • Serving Career and Technical Education Students in Pennsylvania
    Career and Technical Student Organizations Serving Career and Technical Education Students in Pennsylvania 1 Dear CTSO Leaders, As the leader of a statewide trade association dedicated to the growth and development of the technology industry in Pennsylvania, I am keenly aware of the need for a highly-skilled, well-trained, and motivated workforce. At the Technology Council of Pennsylvania, we are strong advocates for advancements in and the promotion of S.T.E.M. education, as well as career and technical training, in order to prepare our young people to succeed in the 21st Century, global economy. That is why we support the work of Pennsylvania’s Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) and the critical role they play in today’s education community. For nearly 70 years, CTSOs have been able to extend teaching and learning through a variety of targeted programs, public-private partnerships and leadership development initiatives that produce technically advanced, employable students to meet the needs of this country’s diverse employer base. Today, the work of CTSOs has never been more valuable as our economy demands workers with a strong understanding of science, technology, engineering and math concepts as well as hands-on technical expertise. The co-curricular approach of CTSOs uniquely positions these organizations to enhance student skill sets and better prepare them to excel in their chosen careers. In order for Pennsylvania and the United States to not only compete, but succeed on a global stage, we need to ensure that the very technology and innovation companies that are driving this global economy have the availability of a well-qualified workforce.

  • Icall Them "Geographical Groups," for There Seems to Be Littleevidence
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF FORMER, NOW EXTINCT, AMISH COMMUNITIES IN PENNSYLANIA1 MAURICE A. MOOK* an earlier article in which the ten present Old Order Amish com- munities in Pennsylvania were identified and located, 2 the present Inwriter stated that "No one knows how many times the Amish have unsuccessfully attempted to establish new communities ... in the his- tory of the Commonwealth." Subsequent research at the Mennonite Publishing House Library at Scottdale, Pennsylvania, 3 has revealed evidence of more than a dozen former now-extinct Amish communities in the state. The history of one of these was considered in a previous issue of this journal.4 These unsuccessful attempts of the Amish to establish colonies in Pennsylvania range in time from the early eigh- teenth century to the present year. There are records of six attempts of the Amish to establish com- munity life in southeastern Pennsylvania during the earliest years of their settlement in America. 5 Only one of these communities survives to the present day. One of their first colonies was on the "Northkill" settlement, established inthe late 1730's near the present town of Ham- burg, in northern Berks County. This frontier community, located some distance north of other settlements in southeastern Pennsylvania, was near a gap in the Blue Mountain range. The geographical isola- tion of its location and its proximity to the break in the mountain bar- rier exposed it to the Indian raids of the frontier fringe during the French and Indian War. Also the non-resistant faith of its Amish in- habitants made it an easy victim of such attacks.

  • Presidential Politics in Oley Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, 1860-64
    Liberty University The Heartland of the Democracy: Presidential Politics in Oley Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, 1860-64 A Thesis Submitted to The Faculty of the History Department In Candidacy for the Degree of Master of History by Benjamin D. Petersheim Lynchburg, Virginia April 2014 Contents Introduction and Historiography 1 Chapter 1: Oley’s Antebellum Society and Culture 17 Chapter 2: Oley’s Democratic Roots and the 1860 Presidential Campaign 43 Chapter 3: Oley’s Wartime Partisanship and the 1864 Presidential Campaign 68 Conclusion 96 Appendices 105 Bibliography 109 Petersheim 1 Introduction and Historiography Oley Township, founded in 1740, in Berks County, Pennsylvania holds a special place in the commonwealth’s history because of its unique religious, political, and cultural history.1 With hundreds of historic buildings and its Pennsylvania German heritage, the heart of the Oley Valley continues to attract colonial and Pennsylvania German historians from great distances so that they are able to analyze and research its rich heritage. Indeed, the area was designated as a National Historic District by the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 and much of the farmland has been preserved through land trusts and historical preservation efforts. Many of the original settler’s descendants remain in Berks County and a large number of them live on or near the valley farmsteads which their ancestors built in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Unfortunately, scholars have largely overlooked Oley’s antebellum and Civil War history. Throughout that period, the township (and larger county) maintained a strong allegiance to the Democratic Party.
