(Advertising for pupils in newspapers was not the usual rule among Quaker masters in early Pennsylvania, though some cases occurred. 345 advertisements from 1730 to 1790 have been noted in various newspapers of the period. Of a list of seventy Quakers who are known to have taught school, only 15 were found in the list of advertisers. The papers examined were the Weekly Mercury, Pennsylvania Gazette, Freeman’s Journal, Evening Post, Pennsylvania Journal and Weekly Advertiser, Pa. Packet, and the Pa. Chronicle; also the Courrier Francais (which is not mentioned in the bibliography).)
