[1011] Dewey, D. R., Financial History of the U. S., 39.

The reader is reminded of the fact that because of greatly depreciated currency the amounts paid, as shown in the above table, did not represent so much absolute increase. That some exact idea of the extent of depreciation of the continental currency may be gained, there is given the following table for the year 1779, when the depreciation became most marked.

The fact of such depreciation was not officially recognized by Congress until March 18, 1780, it being then provided that paper be accepted for silver at a ratio of 40 to 1.

(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).)
