Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on Education
The author begs leave to add, that, as the lec tures were designed for popular and promiscuous audiences, and pertained to a cause in which but very little general interest was felt, he was con strained not only to confine himself to populartopics, but also to treat them, as far as he was able, in a popular manner. The more didactic expositions of the merits Of the great cause of Education, and some of the relations which that cause holds to the interests of civilization and hu man progress he has endeavored to set forth in his Annual Reports; while his more detailed and Specific views, in regard to modes and processes of instruction and training, may be found in the volumes of the Common School Journal. Each one Of these three channels of communication with the public, he has endeavored to use for the exposition of a particular class of the views and motives, belonging to the comprehensive subject of education.

Présentation de l'éditeur
A ct creating the Massachusetts Board of Education was passed A pril 20, 1837. In June following the Board was organized, and its Secretary chosen. The duties of the Secretary, as expressed in the A ct, are, to collect information of the actual condition and efficiency,of the Common Schools, and other means of popular education ;and to diffuse as widely as possible, throughout every part of the Commonwealth, information of the most approved and successful methods of arranging the studies, and conducting the education of the young, to the end, that all children in this Commonwealth, who depend upon Common Schools for instruction, may have the best education which those schools can be made to impart. The Board, immediately after its organization, issued an Address to the Public, inviting the friends of education to assemble in convention, in their respective counties, in the ensuing autumn; and the Secretary was requested to be present at those conventions, both for the purpose of obtaining information in regard to the condition of the schools, and of explaining to the public what were supposed to be the leading motives and objects of the Legislature in creating the Board. The author of the following Lectures was a member of the Legislature when the act establishing the Board was passed ;and he was intimately acquainted with the general views of its projectors and advocates.
