Its objects were to popularize the common schools, raise the standard of teachers, and create a demand for education among the people.

H. McGuffey, Dr.
They were sisters, known as the Grimké sisters, Sarah and Angelina, the latter becoming the wife of Theodore W. Weld, a noted Abolition lecturer. They were daughters of a Judge of the Supreme Court of South Carolina, their early home being in Charleston.
