A sound fresh copy with split at front upper joint chip at tail minor dirt to wraps but internally clean: Very Good. <br /> <br /> Five pamphlets on Horace Mann's 1844 annual report to the Board of Education including two presentation copies of different editions of the report itself and three responses. Mann had toured Europe with his new wife Mary Peabody and friend Samuel Gridley Howe and studied schools in eight countries with special interest in the Prussian school system. His 1844 annual report comparing American and European school systems was received with great offense by Boston schoolteachers. "A group of thirty-one schoolmasters. . . published a sharply worded critique of his seventh Annual Report" targeting "Mann's recommendations for teacher training as well as his opposition to corporal punishment." However this group "soon faced Mann's wrath in the form of written rejoinders" and were ultimately vanquished when "Mann's allies were elected to the Boston School Committee." <br /> <br /> Despite the controversy Mann's efforts to "merge the best that he found in European educational systems with the principles of the growing American common school movement" saw remarkable success. Under his direction the Board of Education spent over $2 million on improved school buildings increased teacher salaries by over 50% opened fifty new high schools commissioned uniform school textbooks from Boston publishers and alotted time for student exercise-shaping the public school system as we know it ANB. All the titles in this collection are uncommon in the book trade. unknown
