'It has always been to me a subject of profound astonishment and deep regret that there was not a single school all over the country until very lately where a Jewish child could obtain any information on his religion' Swann Catalog September 2019 Lot 120.<br/> "Leeser was the driving force behind the founding in 1846 of the Hebrew Education Society of Philadelphia chartered for 'the establishment of a school or schools within . Philadelphia in which are to be taught the elementary branches of education together with the sciences and modern and ancient languages always in combination with instruction in Hebrew language literature and religion.' In his address at its official opening delivered at the Society's schoolhouse on Sunday the 4th of Nissan 5611 April 6th 1851 Leeser expressed great hopes for the new Philadelphia Day School. 'We propose to combine elementary and afterwards scientific education with a gradual and progressive acquirement of Hebrew Hebrew literature and religion. It is not to be as in other schools a secondary matter whether the children learn Hebrew and religion or not but they are to acquire these even if nothing else can be imparted' p. 12."
