    The article " Report of the Massachusetts Board of Education" by Horace Mann was made in 1848. Mann had a career in the law and politics. He left the career and served as a president for the the Massachusetts State Senate.Mann soon also left this career and became a secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education.He did not like the conditions that the public schools were given by the state. Mann wanted to give an opportunity to poor people the right to have a good education. He also wanted to finish with poverty. Mann was tired of seeing public schools filled with people who were able to afford to go to school. He said that all public schools should be for everyone, for the poor, middle class and for the rich.  Horace believed that each and every person deserved to have the right of an education whether they are poor or rich.
