Public schooling began in Massachusetts with the Massachusetts School Law of 1647. The Puritans characteristic of the area wished that everyone was educated so that they could read The Bible and Massachusetts laws. The Massachusetts School Law provided that every township with more than 50 households must hire someone to teach its children to read and write.
