sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the American educational
system was desperately in need of reform. Private schools existed, but only for the
very rich. There were very few public schools because of the strong sentiment that
children who would grow up to be laborers should not “waste” their time on
education but should instead prepare themselves for their life’s work. It was in the
face of this public sentiment that educational reformers set about their task.
Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt that there was no
excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated. As Superintendent of
Education in the state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various
changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country. He
extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality of
teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries. Although
these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the educational
system, they at least increased public awareness as to the need for a further

strengthening of the system.
