Summary
Author, Gerald Studer, is a Mennonite minister. Christopher Dock (1698-1771) emigrated to the American colonies sometime before 1714. He was a school teacher and a farmer in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. He was also a religious man. It is assumed that he was Mennonite, but this is not confirmed. He introduced methods of teaching children which were less stringent than typical education at that time , placing importance on the use of persuasion, discussion, and positive peer pressure. He wrote about how students should be taught as well as rules of behavior for children.
