clergyman editor journalist teacher
Albert E. Winship was born on February 24, 1845, at West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, the son of Isaac Winship and Drusilla Lothrop. He was a descendant of Lieut. Edward Winship, who settled in Cambridge in 1637.
Winship's first teacher was a young girl who taught a class of children in her mother's kitchen in his native village. Later he attended the East Greenwich Academy, East Greenwich, Rhode Island.
After a brief service with the 60th Massachusetts Volunteers in the Civil War, he taught a country school at Gorham, Maine (1864 - 1865), served as principal of an elementary school in Newton, Massachusetts (1865 - 68), and was a student and instructor in the State Normal School at Bridgewater, Massachusetts (1868 - 1871). He then established himself in the book business in Boston, just in time to be burned out by the Boston fire of November 9, 1872.
Later he entered the Andover Theological Seminary (1872 - 1875). As minister of the Prospect Hill Congregational Church, Somerville, Massachusetts (1876 - 1883), he organized and taught evening classes for workers in the packing-house district, which were among the earliest community classes in adult education in America. During this period Winship also established himself as a popular lecturer and contributor to the press. The national educational phase of Winship's work began with his appointment in 1883 as district secretary of the New West Education Commission, one of the national societies of the Congregationalist denomination, which had established scores of schools in Utah, Idaho, Colorado, and New Mexico. Though his work had to do largely with finances, he also interested himself in educational progress.
In March 1886 he resigned to assume the editorship of the Journal of Education (Boston). For the next forty-seven years he conducted the Journal, contributing editorials, articles, news-notes, book-reviews and regular departments. For many years he also edited the American Teacher, which became in 1896 the American Primary Teacher.
During the year 1891, in addition to his work on the Journal of Education, he served as editor-in-chief of the Boston Traveller. He found time as well to produce a number of books, among them The Shop (1889), Horace Mann: the Educator (1896), Great American Educators (1900), Jukes-Edwards: a Study in Education and Heredity (1900), Danger Signals for Teachers (1919), Educational Preparedness (1919), Fifty Famous Farmers (1924), written with L. S. Ivins, and Educational History (1929). During all these years he was observing new movements and new personalities in education, catching their significance and spreading their educational gospel through the Journal. Thousands of struggling teachers got their first encouragement from him, and hundreds became state or national figures in education through his publicizing of their achievements, which otherwise might have gone unnoticed. He was the first to give national prominence to the work of Edward J. Tobin, of Cook County, Illinois, in rural education, of Cora Wilson Stewart in combatting illiteracy, of Josephine Corliss Preston, and of many other educational pioneers.
From 1932, he served as the president of the National Education Association, in whose upbuilding he had an important part. At the time of his death he had attended every convention but one of the Association since the beginning of his educational work. Albert Edward Winship died on February 17, 1933, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Albert E. Winship was a thorough believer in free, public, democratic education, and the growing influence of the great educational foundations caused him real concern.

Albert E. Winship was a member of the Massachusetts State Board of Education, the National Educational Press Association and the American Institute of Instruction, and was a member of President Hoover's Advisory Commission on Illiteracy.
On August 24, 1870, Albert E. Winship married Ella Rebecca Parker, by whom he had six children.
