If any one person were to be given the title "father of American education," it would be Horace Mann (1796-1859). Elected to the Massachusetts legislature in 1827, Mann soon became the spokesperson for the common school movement and led a successful campaign to organize the schools in Massachusetts into a state system and to establish a state board of education.
Catharine Beecher (1800-1878), mentioned in the last chapter as the founder of the Hartford Female Seminary and the Western Institute for Women, was a strong supporter of the common schools and saw her task as focusing the attention of the nation on the need for a corps of female teachers to staff them.
The McGuffey readers were the popular and widely used textbooks of the mid- to late 19th century. First published in 1836, an estimated 100 million copies were sold between 1836 and 1890.
Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746-1827) was a Swiss educator whose philosophy of education incorporated the child-centered, sensory experience principles of Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
