Perhaps it was his own lack of adequate schooling that inspired Horace Mann to work so
hard for the important reforms in education that he accomplished. While he was still a boy, his father and
older brother died, and he became responsible for supporting his family. Like most of the children in his
town, he attended school only two or three months a year. Later, with the help of several teachers, he was
able to study law and became a member of the Massachusetts bar, but he never forgot those early struggles.
While serving in Massachusetts legislature, he signed a historic education bill that set up a
state board of education. Without regret, he gave up his successful legal practice and political career to
become the first secretary of the board. There he exercised an enormous influence during the critical period
of reconstruction that brought into existence the American graded elementary school as substitute for the
older distinct school system. Under his leadership, the curriculum was restructured, the school year was
increased to a minimum of six months, and mandatory schooling was extended to age sixteen. Other
important reforms included the establishment of state normal schools for teacher training, institutes for in-
service teacher education, and lyceums for adult education. He was also instrument in improving salaries
for teachers and creating school libraries.
Mann’s ideas about school reform were developed and distributed in twelve annual reports
to the state of Massachusetts that he wrote during his tenure as secretary of education. Considered quite
radical at the time, the Massachusetts reforms later served as a model for the nation. Mann was recognized
as the father of public education.
