Présentation de l'éditeur
There is, perhaps, no name more widely known among the teachers of this country, than that of Col. Francis W. Parker. The results of his supervision of the Quincy schools have made him the most talked of, if not the most popular educator of our time. Whatever may be thought of him or his work and it would be idle to deny that opinions differ regarding both he is acknowledged, even by his opponents, to be one of those who are destined to mould public opinion. Concerning such the world is always curious. We desire to know their history, their environment, that we may judge their power. Remembering this, I have thought that something of the man, as well as his methods, might prove interesting to the readers of the Notes. I have, therefore, persuaded Col. Parker to give me the salient points of his life, more especially those that bear upon his career as a teacher, and these I have thrown into shape and order in the sketch which follows. Francis Wayland Parker, born October 9th, 1837, the town of Bedford (now Manchester), N. H.
