Horace Mann was an early proponent of universal public education in the United States; these writings summarize his views and ideals about making tutoring available to every child in the nation.

Born to a farmer of modest circumstances, Mann knew what it was like to be disadvantaged by birth; he obtained merely six weeks of schooling a year for most of his childhood. Yet his curious mind also made use of the Franklin Public Library of Massachusetts, and this self-education propelled him to academic success and graduation from Brown University with superb grades. Convinced that others could benefit greatly from better tutoring early in life, Mann entered politics and became a pioneering advocate of publicly funded education for the betterment of all.
