Horace Mann and the Public School in the United States is a historical book by Gabriel Compayre, first published in 1907. The book explores the life and work of Horace Mann, a prominent American educator who played a key role in the development of the public school system in the United States during the mid-19th century.Compayre’s book covers Mann’s early life and education, his career as a lawyer and politician, and his role as the first Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education. The book also delves into the philosophical and educational theories that shaped Mann’s vision for public education, including his belief in the importance of universal education, the role of the state in providing education, and the need for education to be both practical and moral.Throughout the book, Compayre provides a detailed analysis of Mann’s contributions to the development of the public school system in the United States, including his advocacy for teacher training, curriculum reform, and the establishment of state-supported normal schools. The book also explores the challenges and controversies that Mann faced during his career, including opposition from religious groups and the debate over the role of public schools in promoting social equality.Overall, Horace Mann and the Public School in the United States offers a comprehensive and insightful look at one of the most influential figures in American education history, and provides valuable insights into the development of the public school system in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
