"He, like many of those men whom we designate as "Founding Fathers", recognized that the success of the American Christian philosophy of government would depend upon the quality of education of each individual in our republic. But unlike today, Noah Webster put the responsibility for education upon the family first and upon the individual. Independence was a basic quality of the American character and Noah Webster began to write textbooks which were self-teaching, that is, they did not require a teacher."
