A free, public education for all Americans was not always the standard. In "A Publick Education," Horace Mann traces education methods, which varied depending on economic status, from the colonial period to the one-room schoolhouses of the 1840s where standardized education for all in the community began. The changing role of education in the young democracy is also examined.
