Colonial schoolmasters were men or sometimes women who kept kids in line more often than teach them. This was not so in New England during the 1700's. They believed every child should be able to read so they could understand The Bible. A schoolmaster was a man/woman who taught children how to read, write, able to recite prayers, and understand the bible
