Pennsylvania had the strongest education institutions. An academy that held its first classes in 1740 became the college of Philadelphia. Then it was grown into the University of Philadelphia.
In colonial Pennsylvania, schools were generally small and informal, often held in homes or churches. Education was not compulsory, and typically only boys from wealthier families attended school. The curriculum mainly focused on reading, writing, and basic arithmetic, with a strong emphasis on religion and morality. Teachers were often local ministers or community members.
In colonial Pennsylvania, schools were very small with only 5 to 12 students per classroom. Children generally attended school between the ages of 5 and 12. In the rural areas they were called neighborhood schools while in the cities they were called dame schools. Subjects that were taught included simple math, writing, reading and Bible studies.

The comma should be placed after "days" to separate the introductory phrase "During the colonial days" from the main clause "a school room looked rather empty."
People in colonial Pennsylvania primarily spoke English, as it was the dominant language of the British colonies. In addition to English, there were also speakers of various European languages such as German, Dutch, Swedish, and Welsh, depending on the specific ethnic groups that settled in the region. Additionally, Native American languages were spoken by indigenous peoples living in the area prior to European settlement.
The Middle Colonies, which included Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware, had the widest range of language and culture among the colonial sections. This was due to their diverse population of Dutch, English, Swedish, German, Native American, and other immigrant groups.
In Colonial America, Catholic colonists were ministered by priests and missionaries sent from Europe, mainly from France and Spain. These priests helped establish and maintain Catholic communities in areas like Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Louisiana. The Jesuits and Franciscans were some of the religious orders that played a significant role in ministering to Catholics during this time.
The prefix of "colonial" is "colon-" which comes from the Latin word "colonus" meaning farmer or settler.

Most of the state of Pennsylvania is a farming community. In the colonial days, most days were spent farming for adults, and going to school for children.
