How are the young people ln Stow and an other towns and cxt1es able to be educated and to have good teachers and var1ed courses at such httle cost to themselves and others? We have been able to prepare for col leges, or other places of higher learnmg wzthout havmg to pay for our knowledge Let s thmk back about a hundred years and see what the schools were lxke then A ty plcal school of the 1820 s was cold and draughty There were no blackboards Just hard wooden benches On these benches a very few students huddled together and fearfully lxsten ed to thexr teacher who occasionally eyed hrs whxp standing ln the corner of the room The chxldren could not understand eas1ly what the teacher was trymg to tell them because the materxal was dull and very often useless to them Even schools of thzs type were very scarce and most of them cost so much money that very few boys could attend Gxrls almost never went to school mn those days Improvements started soon after th1s when Horace Mann the Father of the Amerzcan Pubhc School, started hls great task to better cond1t1ons ln the schools Mann of course was not the only one workmg for pubhc education but hrs ceaseless labors mark hzm as our greatest leader m educatzonal reforms He gave h1s hfe for th1s cause Horace Mann was born on May 4, 1796 1n Franklm Massachusetts and hxs famlly was very poor Wxth the death of hzs father when Horace was thxrteen came fxve years of very hard work on the farm Whenever he could, however he attended school He read the d1ff1 cult adult hzstory books xn the Frankhn Pubhc Llbrary, and from these gamed a wxde knowl edge Those f1ve years of hard work affected Horace s health and consequently he never felt completely well ln all hrs hfe and hxs career was very probably shortened because of It A teacher who was lnterested m Horace tutored hzm for college and 1n 1816 he entered Brown Un1vers1ty In only three years he graduated wxth hxghest honors The next two years were spent xn teachmg at Brown Umverslty Durmg thzs tlme he fell m love wxan the daugh ter of the presxdent, but they delayed thelr marnage untxl 1830 whxle he studxed law and started h1s promlsmg career Mrs Mann dxed very soon after the1r marrxage Th1s was a terr1f1c blow to hlm and hxs frxends were afraxd for h1s health Out of th1s despazr came a des1re to do somethmg for oth ers He was elected to the Massachusetts State Leg1s1ature and then to the State Senate, of whxch he was president This however, was not just what he wanted to do Mann began to reahze that the pubhc school system of Massachusetts was very made quate and that there he mxght be able to be of serv1ce Because the pubhc schools were given l1tt1e support by thexr towns, very lxttle 1nstruct1on was offered A real educatlon could be re vewed only by gomg to a prwate school whxch was very costly In 1837 Mann succeeded 1n havmg a State Board of Education set up He restgned from the Senate to become Secretary to the Board 12 . .. . o n . -. .

Even before they landed at Ply-mouth, the Pilgrims wrote and signed the Mayflower Compact, their plan for self government.

We, the youth of today, are the leaders of tomorrow. We cannot be certain what kind of a world we face today, or what kind of a life hes ahead. But one thing is certain. We are not going to be bored: and because we are Americans we are not going to be afraid. Marjorie Gray 16 . . . ' . . . - . . , . . , . . . . . , . . , . . . . . , . . , . - . ' . . . .
