The front board has been reattached and the binding is solid. <br> Horace Mann was one of the most important figures in the development of universal non-sectarian free education in America. His six reforming principles forms the nucleus of American educational values: 1. the public should no longer remain ignorant; 2. that such education should be paid for controlled and sustained by an interested public; 3. that this education will be best provided in schools that embrace children from a variety of backgrounds; 4. that this education must be non-sectarian; 5. that this education must be taught using the tenets of a free society; and that education should be provided by well-trained professional teachers. Significantly Mann attempted to bring children of all classes together and better equalize the conditions of men. The Seventh Annual Report of the Massachusetts Board of Education included Mann's innovative findings from visits to schools in Europe particularly Prussia Saxony and Holland which Mann felt were superior to those of Massachusetts. The report proposed instruction for the blind deaf and dumb; modes of teaching children to read; the use of text books; and the abandonment of corporal punishment as a primary means of maintaining school discipline. Mann's innovative reform attempts created a backlash from Boston schoolmasters and this volume contains both their and Mann's responses. C.G. Little and J. Brown; W.B. Fowle and N. Capen; S.N.
