Transcendentalist, abolitionist, and gifted teacher Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, best remembered as one of the accomplished Peabody sisters, opened the first English language kindergarten in the United States, ran a bookstore from her home where Margaret Fuller held “Conversations”, and worked for the rights of the Paiute Indians. Her tutor for Greek was Ralph Waldo Emerson and she was a teaching assistant to Amos Bronson Alcott (Louisa May Alcott's father).

Elizabeth's sisters, Mary (1805-1887) and Sophia (1809-1871), also made marriages to notable men: Mary became the wife of Horace Mann and Sophia married Nathaniel Hawthorne.

William Penn
b. 10-14-1644; London, England
d. 7-30-1718; Berkshire, England

William Penn, a pacifist Quaker, was the founder and “Absolute Proprietor” of the Province of Pennsylvania. Penn received what was to become the state of Pennsylvania as a land grant from Charles II in repayment for a loan made by Penn's father to the king.

Penn, who visited the colony several times and wanted to settle in Philadelphia, hoped an income would be generated by those who were drawn to Pennsylvania because of his charter guaranteeing “free and fair trial by jury, freedom of religion, freedom from unjust imprisonment and free elections”.

FYI - In 1681 Penn decreed that one acre of old-growth forest must remain for every five acres cleared, making him an early environmentalist and conservationist.

Frances Perkins quotes ~
• “Being a woman has only bothered me in climbing trees.”
• “To one who believes that really good industrial conditions are the hope for a machine civilization, nothing is more heartening than to watch conference methods and education replacing police methods.”
• “In America, public opinion is the leader.”
