He served in the Massachusetts Senate from 1834 to 1837. In 1848 after serving as Secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Education since its creation he was elected to the US House of Representatives. Arguing that universal public education was the best way to turn the nation's unruly children into disciplined judicious republican citizens Mann won widespread approval from modernizers especially in his Whig Party for building public schools. Most states adopted one version or another of the system he established in Massachusetts especially the program for "normal schools" to train professional teachers. Mann has been credited by many educational historians as the "Father of the Common School Movement" Wikipedia</p> W.H. & O. H. Morrison

Side-sewing intact but extra stab holes and missing wrappers suggest that it was removed at some point from a bound volume of other works. Marginal tear to pp. 3-4 just barely approaches text else with shallower chips and tears to extremities. Untrimmed. Minimal foxing; a good or better example. Horace Mann's first publication which he printed at his own expense. A passionate and upbeat celebration of America's first 47 years which looks forward to the fruits of westward expansion.
