Lectures On Education (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780548119211)

Lectures on Education is a book written by Horace Mann, an American educational reformer and politician. The book is a collection of lectures that Mann delivered during his time as Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education in the mid-19th century. The book covers a wide range of topics related to education, including the history of education, the role of teachers, the importance of public education, and the need for educational reform. Mann argues that education is the key to social progress and that it should be accessible to all, regardless of social class or background. Throughout the book, Mann emphasizes the importance of moral education and character development, arguing that education should not only teach students academic subjects but also instill in them the values and virtues necessary for responsible citizenship. Lectures on Education is a seminal work in the history of American education and remains relevant today as a source of insight into the ongoing debates about the purpose and value of education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
