This book details the life and work of Henry Ruffner, a Presbyterian minister and educator who played a pivotal role in establishing Virginia's public school system. Despite having no formal training in education, he became the state's first superintendent of public instruction in 1870. The author highlights Ruffner's efforts to provide education for both white and black children, navigating the challenges of Reconstruction and post-Civil War Virginia. The book explores Ruffner's belief in the importance of education for the state's progress and his advocacy for policies that fostered a system accessible to all. Through his writings and speeches, Ruffner challenged prevailing notions and argued for the transformative power of education in shaping a just and prosperous society. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the complexities of educational reform during a tumultuous period in American history and underscores Ruffner's enduring legacy as a visionary leader in public education.
