Excerpt from Of Horace Mann, Vol. 3 of 5
The present volume consists of only such portions of the ten remaining Reports of the Secretary as are now of universal interest. If published entire, they would fill two such volumes as the present. The statistics omitted give the condition of Massachusetts, in an educational point of view, between the years 1837 and 1848, and are not of general interest at the present time. The people of the State can find them, when needed, in the public archives. The portions selected contain the views of Mr. Mann upon great points which concern all societies alike.
The appropriations made by the towns for public schools increased, under the administration of the Board of Education, from $400,000 in 1837 to $749,943.45 in 1848. This sum was exclusive of the cost of school-houses, school-books, libraries, apparatus, &c., and was expended solely for the compensation of teachers, for their board,and for fuel for, the schools.
In 1837, there were three thousand five hundred and ninety-one female teachers in the common schools.
