Laura Towne Horace Mann (1796-1859) Horace Mann, often called the Father of the Common School, began his career as a lawyer and legislator. When he was elected to act as Secretary of the newly-created Massachusetts Board of Education in 1837, he used his position to enact major educational reform. He spearheaded the Common School Movement, ensuring that every child could receive a basic education funded by local taxes. His influence soon spread beyond Massachusetts as more states took up the idea of universal schooling. Mann's commitment to the Common School sprang from his belief that political stability and social harmony depended on education: a basic level of literacy and the inculcation of common public ideals. He declared, "Without undervaluing any other human agency, it may be safely affirmed that the Common School...may become the most effective and benignant of all forces of civilization." Mann believed that public schooling was central to good citizenship, democratic participation and societal well-being. He observed, "A republican form of government, without intelligence in the people, must be, on a vast scale, what a mad-house, without superintendent or keepers, would be on a small one." The democratic and republican principals that propelled Mann's vision of the Common School have colored our assumptions about public schooling ever since.

About Us Horace Mann Contact Us Horace Mann Horace Mann, ardent abolitionist, social reformer, and visionary educator, was the founding President of Antioch College (1853-59). Born in Massachusetts in a Calvinist small town, Mann (1796-1859) had little formal education as a youth, but read extensively at the town library, where he learned enough to be admitted to Brown University. After graduation in 1819 he taught for a while, studied law and then entered politics, where he soon became a rising star in the state assembly (1827-37). During this period, Mann was instrumental in the enactment of laws prohibiting the sale of alcohol, establishing state mental institutions, and in 1835, he cast his vote in favor of creating the nation's first state education board. He then shocked family and friends by taking the job of the first secretary to that body, the Massachusetts Commission to Improve Education (later the State Board of Education), an agency with no money or control over local schools. Awed by the immensity of the challenge of his new post, Mann swore to himself on the day he accepted, "Henceforth, as long as I hold this office, I dedicate myself to the supremest welfare of mankind on earth." Over the next twelve years he transformed the state's hodgepodge of charity schools for the poor into a great system of free public schools, organized on solid educational principles. His central thesis was essentially Jeffersonianno republic can endure unless its citizens are literate and educated. In the United States of the 1830s, arguing for "common school" that is, a school commonly supported, commonly attended by all people regardless of race, class or sex, and commonly controlled was a radical idea.some would say it still is!

But his family could not afford art materials. At age ten, he won a box of crayons in a magazine drawing contest and started coloring. He left school at age fourteen to help his family. He worked on a farm, as a porter at a hotel, and as an iron molder in a factory. Photograph of Pippin and his wife In 1917 Pippin went to France to fight in World War I. His right arm was badly injured in the war. He returned home, married, and settled in Pennsylvania. Because of his injury, he worked odd jobs and barely made a living. Pippin as Painter At the age of forty Pippin found a way—even with his crippled right hand—to draw on wood using a hot poker. He made many burnt-wood art panels. Pippin decided to try painting with oil. He used his "good" left hand to guide his crippled right hand, which held the paintbrush, across the canvas. It took him three years to finish his first painting. Horace Pippin

A Biography of Horace and an Annotated Bibliography (below), to accompany Steven Willett's translations of selected odes Abbreviations AP = Ars Poetica ("Art of Poetry") C = Carmina (Odes, in four books) CS = Carmen Saeculare ("Song of the Ages") E = Epistles (in two books) I = Iambi (Epodes) S = Satires (in two books) Vita = A brief biography by the Roman historian Suetonius (2nd century CE). David Mulroy (below) has a complete translation. Quintus Horatius Flaccus was born 8 December 65BC in Venusia, a Roman military colony in southeastern Italy on the border between Apulia and Lucania (Vita). His full name is attested in his poetry and an inscription on the "Carmen Saeculare," a poem commissioned by Augustus for performance at the Secular games of 17BC: (1) Quintus (S.2.6:37), Horatius (C.4.6:44; E.1.14:5), Flaccus (I.15:12, S.2.1:18); (2) carmen composuit Q. Hor[at]ius Flaccus ("Q. Horatius Flaccus wrote the poem" [Carmen Saeculare] ILS 5050). His father was a manumitted slave (S.1.6:6 and 45-46) who worked as a coactor argentarius, or auction broker (S.i.6:86-87), and acquired a small holding (S.1.6:71) which Horace with disingenuous humility calls a "starveling farm." Horace says nothing about his mother, but does mention the name of his nurse, Pullia (C.3.4:10). His father had in fact enough money to take Horace while still young out of the local Venusian school run by Flavius and personally supervise his education at Rome under the strict disciplinarian Orbilius (S.1.6:71-88). Horace notes in the same passage (ll. 78-80), and in contradiction to S.1.6:71, that his clothing and attendant slaves suggested the son of a man with great ancestral wealth (rather than the acquired wealth his father had earned). During his secondary schooling in these Roman years, Horace studied the poetry of Livius Andronicus (E.2.1:69-71) and Homer (E.2.2:41-42).

HORACE MANN " The Father of American Education"," Horace Mann, was born in Franklin, Massachusetts, in 1796. Mann's schooling consisted only of brief and erratic periods of eight to ten weeks a year. Mann educated himself by reading ponderous volumes from the Franklin Town Library. This self education, combined with the fruits of a brief period of study with an intinerant school master, was sufficient to gain him admission to the sophomore class of Brown University in 1816" (4, Cremin). He went on to study law at Litchfield Law School and finally received admission to the bar in 1823 (15, Filler). In the year 1827 Mann won a seat in the state legislature and in 1833 ran for State Senate and won." Throughout these years Horace Mann maintained a thriving law practice, first in Dedham and later in Boston" (5, Cremin). " Of the many causes dear to Mann's heart, non was closer than the education of the people. He held a keen interest in school policy. April 20, 1837, Mann left his law practice and accepted the post of the newly founded Secretary of Education" (6, Cremin). During his years as Secretary of Education Mann published twelve annual reports on aspects of his work and programs, and the integral relationship between education, freedom, and Republican government. He wanted a school that would be available and equal for all, part of the birth-right of every American child, to be for rich and poor alike. Mann had found "social harmony" to be his primary goal of the school. (8, Cremin).

Horace Silver Piano, Composer September 2, 1928 Horace Silver "I found Brubeck's work interesting until I heard Tatum, Horace Silver, and Oscar Peterson within a period of six weeks. But when I heard Horace, now that was a thing which turned me around and finally fixed my idea of piano playing." Cecil Taylor Horace Ward Martin Tavares Silver . As a child he was exposed to Cape Verdean folk music performed by his father, who was of Portugese descent. He began studying saxophone and piano in high school, when his influences were blues singers such as Memphis Slim, and boogie-woogie and bop pianists, especially Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk . In 1950 Stan Getz made an appearance in Hartford, Connecticut, with Silver's piano trio, and subsequently engaged the group to tour regularly with him. Silver remained with Getz for a year. By 1951 Silver had developed sufficient confidence to move to New York, where he performed as a freelance with such established professionals as Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Oscar Pettiford, and Art Blakey . In 1952 he was engaged by Lou Donaldson for a recording session with Blue Note; this led to his own first recordings as a leader and to an exclusive relationship with Blue Note for the next 28 years. From 1953 to 1955 he played in a cooperative band called the Jazz Messengers which he led with Blakey. By 1956, however, he was performing and recording solely as the leader of his own quintet, while Blakey continued as leader of the Jazz Messengers.

For his doctorate he determined the rotation curve of the Andromeda Galaxy M31. Much later his measurements would be considered an early indication of the existence of dark matter. After a stint at the Yerkes Observatory and war work at MIT and Caltech, Babcock joined the staff of the Mt. Wilson (soon to be Mt. Wilson and Palomar ) Observatory, in 1946. There he often worked closely with his father, Harold Babcock . The two were first to measure the distribution of magnetic fields over the solar surface. Horace Babcock invented and built many astronomical instruments, including a ruling engine which produced excellent diffraction gratings, the solar magnetograph , and microphotometers, automatic guiders, and exposure meters for the 100 and 200-inch telescopes. By combining his polarizing analyzer with the spectrograph he discovered magnetic fields in other stars. He developed important models of sunspots and their magnetism, and in 1953 he was the first to propose adaptive optics . He directed the Mt. Wilson and Palomar (later Hale) Observatories

Notable American Unitarians Horace Mann Horace Mann (May 4, 1796-August 2, 1859), was an educator and a statesman who greatly advanced the cause of universal, free, non-sectarian public schools. Mann also advocated temperance, abolition, hospitals for the mentally ill, and women's rights. His preferred cause was education, about which he remarked that while "other reforms are remedial; education is preventative." After graduating from Brown University and the Litchfield Law School, Mann joined the First Parish (Unitarian) Church of Dedham, Massachusetts after moving to the area in 1823 in order to open his first law practice. In his very first legal case, Mann successfully represented the First Parish Church of Milton (Congregational) in their removal of their minister, who refused to participate in the custom of exchanging his pulpit with his Unitarian colleagues. In the first year of his practice in Dedham Mann was invited to deliver the local Independence Day address. Here he outlined for the first time the basic principles that he would return to in his subsequent public statements, arguing that education, intelligent use of the elective franchise, and religious freedom are the means by which American liberties are preserved. John Quincy Adams, newly elected President, was in attendance that day. Impressed by what he heard, Adams predicted that Mann would have a distinguished career.

Horace Greeley In 1869, Harper's Weekly called Horace Greeley "the most perfect Yankee the country has ever produced." Editor, politician, and founder of the New York Tribune , Greeley began his career as a Whig and in 1856 helped establish the new Republican Party. Greeley advocated reform in every sphere, supporting temperance, Transcendentalism, labor unions, and scores of other, less significant causes. His ability to express his idealistic, moral positions in clear, memorable prose won loyal readers for the Tribune . In the 1840s, he urged a generation to "Go West, young man." Under Greeley's leadership, the Tribune became the first national newspaper, circulating by rail and steamboat lines, to unite the country around his moderate, antislavery position. Brady made many portraits of him. This daguerreotype was made around 1851, when Greeley served on the jury for the exhibition in the Crystal Palace in London, where Brady's work earned a medal.

Home Horace Williams House Calendar of Events House Tour Archives ... Local Points of Interest The Horace Williams House evolved over several architectural periods. The west element or farmhouse (c.1840) retains its original pine floor boards, mantel, and window surrounds. The parlor and entrance hall were built in the 1880s, the latter from what may have been a covered dog trot. The parquet ceilings in both rooms are particularly noteworthy. The Octagon Room, the major gallery since restoration of the house, was built between 1852 and 1855. It was constructed during the tenure of Benjamin Sherwood Hedrick, a chemistry professor, who was "denounced from nearly every pulpit in the state" and dismissed by the University of North Carolina Board of Trustees for his outspoken opposition to slavery. Horace Williams, a professor of philosophy (depicted here in the oil painting by Mary Rees Graves), was tremendously popular among his students. According to Thomas Wolfe in You Can't Go Home Again , "He was a great teacher, and what he did for us, and for others before us for fifty years, was not to give us his 'philosophy' . . . but to communicate to us his alertness, his originality, his power to think." Students met with him many nights in the front parlor. On the death of Horace Williams, the University of North Carolina became the sole owner of the house named for him. Restored in 1974, the house is maintained by the Preservation Society of Chapel Hill as a cultural resource and art exhibition space.

To Delight and to Instruct If the purpose of art is the same as the purpose of teaching, is teaching therefore an art? Sunday, March 30, 2008 Mini-Autobiography There's a meme going around, which I've seen all over, but most recently at Flavia 's. The meme asks for a 6-word autobiography, which strikes me as being as difficult an exercise as determining what one's only tattoo should be. I've kicked around a couple of teaching-oriented possibilities: I came, I saw, I taught. I taught, I collected, I graded. And I worked out a few body/gender things: Lesbian critic in the hegemon's body. I'm ambivalent about my own maleness. And then for a few days I've been working on something about role-playing in life: High performers are still just performing Authenticity is just a great performance And then I came upon this line, in Angela Carter's The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman , which I guess makes it Carter's unwitting biography of me (written originally about a character with whom I have little in common): His performance perfectly simulated an improvisation.
