Annual Reports to the Massachusetts Board of Education

by Horace Mann

Horace Mann's 'Annual Reports to the Massachusetts Board of Education' are a collection of influential essays written between 1837 and 1848 that shaped the American public education system. Mann, known as the 'Father of the Common School,' advocated for free, universal, and non-sectarian education as a cornerstone of democracy. Through his reports, he addressed various aspects of education, from philosophical underpinnings to practical matters such as school buildings and teacher training. Mann's writings provide insights into the history of education reform and continue to resonate with educators and policymakers today.
