HURACE MANN: THE EDUCATUR NE HUNDRED years ago, the man for whom our school is named and on whose principles modern education is based began a long campaign to reorganize the school system of his state, a campaign that was to start him on a strenuous and famous career and bring a new fundamental philosophy to the teaching world. When Governor Everett of Massachusetts appointed Horace Mann as Secretary of the newly established State Board of Education in the spring of 1837. it came as a surprise to many, although the forty-two-year- old legislator had for a long time fought vigorously for the reforms which the Board intended to supervise. The appointment was a wise one. however. for Horace Mann performed his new duties with a tireless zeal that accomplished wonders. From his boyhood Horace Mann recalled the incompetent teachers and dilapidated school houses of his native town, Franklin, Massachusetts. He was able to attend classes only eight or ten weeks a year and only through his own efforts managed to enter Brown University and graduate three years later with high honors. He then tutored Latin and Greek at Brown, studied for the legal profession at Litchfield, and prac- ticed law for fourteen years, before he was finally elected to the State House of Representatives in 1827 and the State Senate six years later.

HURACE MANN Burn in Franklin Mussafhusells. May -1. 1796. lloruce Mann lurnezl lu law. and was then made a member of Congress from Massachusetts from II!-18 to 1853. After interesling himself passionately in eflucutirm. he lwrnrne the first President of Alllfllfh and rlfezl on August 2. 1859. the Senate. which promised him a brilliant political career. and also his valuable law practice. to head the Education Board of Massachusetts. Horace Mann had realized the importance of education. and he knew only too well the miserable conditions of the schools of his day. For the next eleven years lVIann's work brought forth a stream of notable achievements: the establish- ment of the first normal schools in the country for the training of teachers. the establishment of school libraries and the improvement of school buildings and staffs. the addition of fifty new high schools as well as the opportunity for free secondary education. and finally the repudiation of religious bigotry and age- worn ideas in class-rooms and text-books. There were many who opposed these steps. but by a masterful analysis of the situation based on careful study, Horace Mann. through his complete. remarkable annual reports and through endless debate and struggle. succeeded in convincing the Board and the people of his state of the value of his suggestions. With the death of Representative Adams. Horace Mann was elected to Congress in l84-8. The life al Washington was monotonous and uncongenial to Mann. however. and in 1853, tired of politics and the affairs of Massacliusetts. he spurned the chance for the governorship and accepted instead the appointment as first president of the experimental college of Antioch, in Ohio. Here Horace Mann sought to carry out his educational ideas and theories. putting into practice such methods as coeducation. non-sectarianism. racial equality. and emphasis on health and on moral character. The new venture was still on a precarious basis and struggling for its endurance when Horace Mann came to the end of his well-spent life in 1859, leaving as his watchword this advice: Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity. 11
