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 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
