Good.</p><p>RARE First Edition.</p><p>Known as "The Father of the Common School Movement" Massachusetts Secretary of Education Horace Mann 1796-1859 offers a fierce defense of his progressive reforms against the opinions of traditionalist schoolmasters. The controversy came about following Mann's publication of his "Seventh Annual Report". Mann a progressive praised the "object method" approach of the Prussian education system over rote memorization. He advocated for teacher training and for the use of positive reinforcement over corporal punishment that was common in Boston schools of the period. His reply was aimed at a group of 31 prominent Boston schoolmasters who objected to his reforms and the feud continued through 1845.</p> Boston: Wm. M. Fowle and Nahum Capen, 1844. paperback
