A person of high importance involved in the Education Reform is Horace Mann. He was given the nickname "father of American public schools". He spoke to the citizens of Massachusetts about the importance of public schools. He thought of education as a way to solving problems in society like poverty and crime. The citizens voted to pay taxes to help build better schools, pay higher salaries for teachers, and open schools to help train teachers. Soon Mann's idea spread throughout the country and more and more states started to open public schools.
