THE CHRONICLE Horace Mann The year 1937 is being celebrated as the centennial of Horace Mann's valuable work in the field of education in Massachusetts. His influence in improving educational conditions spread to all the other states. In 1837 he became secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education, an office he held for twelve years; and it was during this period that he accomplished the many things for which we are nowr honoring him. Because he found conditions in the Massachusetts public schools so very poor, he started at once to arouse public interest in the purpose, value, and needs of a public education. In every county he organized conventions for teachers, school officials, and the general public, and spoke at these meetings, himself. Through his efforts state normal schools were established, school buildings and equipment improved, school terms lengthened, and free public secondary schools were opened. For ten years he edited a magazine for bringing about a better understanding of the public schools. The work of Horace Mann was not, however, confined to the public schools, for he served as president of Antioch College in Ohio from 1853 to 1859, where he did much to promote advanced ideas in education. His last public words spoken at a commencement at Antioch were “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” Barbara Hall, ’39
