The early Romans 'raughr Ywo languages: Laiin, iheir na+ive +ongue1 and Greek, which was fhe key fo cullure and knowledge. Aihenian boys siudied music and gymnaslics ai lhe age of seven. Schools increased in numbers and kinds afler IIOO A. D. The Crusades broughl' a+- leniion ro chivalry. This led io a form of educalion which laughf graces, mililary skills, and moral virlues. Also, about rhis lime, universi+ies were sfarfed as a means of higher educafion. During ihe Reformarion Period, fhe firsl slaps foward public educaiion were iaken.

Wilh public educalion came many problems. The problem of aflendance was solved by fhe passing of laws which made aliendance compulsory. Taxafion was agreed upon as ihe meihod of financing public educalion. All persons who owned faxable properly supporled ihe schools.
