Synopsis
Excerpt from Observations on a Pamphlet Entitled "Remarks on the Seventh Annual Report of the Hon. Horace Mann, Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education"
A few days ago a pamphlet, with the title given above, was put into my hands. It emanates, as a prefatory notice informs us, rom more than thirty of the teachers in our public schools some of whom I know to be among the most respected of our fellow citizens. Coming from such men, I have been very much sur prised to find such doctrines as this pamphlet contains, and such a spirit as it breathes. It contradicts the language of the _uniform tenor of their lives.
They have, at least some of them, desired to elevate the char acter and calling of the teacher - to introduce the best methods - and to bring to bear the highest motives in the instruction and government of a school. Here, they are seeking to make us satisfied with the schools and teachers - the methods and motives - as they have been, and as they are.
I can hardly understand how they have determined thus to come out, in a hostile attitude, against one who has done so much to advance the cause in which they are engaged; to elevate, and bring to honor, the school and the teacher; and to cause Education to be considered the first interest of society.
