24308On Mann's letterhead written to the New York Post columnist thanking him for "the flattering invitation" presumably to write a column for him as a guest. Mann is "-- in principle -- interested in your proposition but I cannot at this moment give you a definitive answer.

You shall have my final reply as soon as possible. Meanwhile I should be glad to be advised as to the fee involved in my proposed guest-performance. unknown

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
