FRONTIER EDUCATION IN SPANISH LOUISIANA1 BY ERNEST R. LILJEGREN The development of education in Spanish colonial Lou­ isiana was in marked contrast with the evolution of demo­ cratic American frontier schools. This was a result, in a large measure, of basic differences in social and political philosophy. During the eighteenth century, immigration into the United States brought a mingling of arts, religions, and cul­ tures. Immigration inland from the Atlantic coast drew these varied elements into close contact, and the adversities of pioneer life bred tolerance and democracy. After the Revolutionary war, the American pioneers spilled over the Appalachian mountains and spread out through the greater part of the territory east of the Mississippi river. These hardy frontiersmen carried with them a bold democratic spirit. On the frontier, every man considered himself equal to any other. He believed, furthermore, that his children had the right of equal opportunity. Trekking into the wilderness, the settlers left behind the smugness of New England academies and the charity schools of the middle colonies. As individualists they were unwilling to wait for the church to provide a school for their children or for philanthropic easterners to present them with educa­ tional opportunities. In their characteristic manner, the backwoodsmen declared a holiday and built a log school- house—a rare social event which drew people from miles *On subjects relating to Spanish Louisiana, the real wealth of information is buried in the archives of Spain. The hitherto unpublished material presented in this study was gleaned from transcripts of French and Spanish manuscripts in Spanish archives, particularly the Archivo General de las Indias, Seccion Papeles Procedentes de la Isla de Cuba, Seville, Spain. (This depository will hereinafter be cited by the abbreviation A. G. I., P. de C, followed by the leg a jo number.) The author wishes to express his appreciation to Dr. Abraham P. Nasatir of San Diego state college for the use of his large private library of transcripts from the Spanish archives. All references to legajos in the Spanish archives are to transcripts in Dr. Nasatir's library. (345) 346 MISSOURI HISTORICAL REVIEW around. In time then, a day was set aside to build a church. The early American West was dotted with such buildings dedicated to democratic culture and learning among the pioneers. In some way or another, they found teachers and ministers. Often it was an itinerant Presbyterian preacher who served in both capacities. The religious revival of the latter part of the eighteenth century stimulated learning, but religion did not come to dominate the American backwoods schoolhouse. Rather, western democratic spirit dominated education. Not all gained the rudiments of learning and but few were well edu­ cated. However, these crude pioneer schools turned out people who could read the Bible and the Kentucky Gazette, take an intelligent part in the political activities of the United States, and occasionally trade with the Spaniards and the French on the other side of the Mississippi. When Spanish Louisiana came under American control, thousands of rough settlers crossed the river to new lands where they found older settlements populated by Frenchmen living under Spanish rule. The Americans, with their higher regard for learning, met a civilization where education was generally limited to a few of the officials and the wealthy. In the opinion of one observer, they encountered a people who were at least a century behind other civilized nations in the arts and sciences. Illiteracy was very high; one writer judged that not more than one-half of the population could read and write and probably not more than 200 could do so with facility. Even among those who had received instruc­ tion, reading and writing was usually the extent of their learning.2 Although Spanish Louisiana was not entirely lacking in culture, there were but few opportunities for intellectual advancement. The colony had no public libraries and few private collections of books. There was but one printing press. The one weekly newspaper was strictly censored by the government and had a paid circulation to only a few 2Stoddard, Amos, Sketches, Historical and Descriptive, of Louisiana, p. 320; American State Papers, Miscellaneous, Vol.
