Dana Pond Colburn was born on September 29, 1823 in Dedham, Massachusetts, United States. He was the youngest of a family of fifteen born to Isaac and Mary Colburn both hardy New Englanders who reared their children “to subsist by honest toil. ”
Colburn obtained “a good English education” in the town school, showing an early marked preference for mathematics and exhibiting a philosophical turn of mind. The neighborhood Lyceum, the school of Joseph Underwood, and the Bridgewater (Massachusetts) Normal School, where he came under the powerful influence of Nicholas Tillinghast, furnished the rest of his formal education.
Colburn started his career as a teacher first at Dover and Sharon, Massachusetts, then at East Greenwich, Rhode Island, and, finally, at Brookline, Massachusetts. He exhibited such a mastery of common-school problems and such skill as a teacher that he drew the attention of Horace Mann. He was invited in 1847 to begin institute work, which he carried on with the greatest success till his death. He gave lessons in orthography and geography, but in arithmetic he excelled as a teacher. The path soon opened which led him to become a teacher of teachers.
After 1848, when he became assistant in the Bridgewater institution, his work centered in normal schools. After 1852, he taught in a private normal school at Providence, becoming its principal in 1854, when it was changed to the Rhode Island Normal School. Three years later he transferred, with the State Normal School, to Bristol, where, in 1859, at the height of his success, he was accidentally killed, a few days before he was to have been married.
Colburn was an author of few textbooks including First Steps in Numbers (1845), Decimal System (1852) and others. In his textbooks illustrations relieved the usually tedious pages. His numerous articles and accounts of demonstration lessons by Colburn appeared in the Rhode Island Schoolmaster (1855 - 1859) and other educational periodicals. In his brief life he outstripped the accomplishments of most contemporaries. His elaborate plans for the improvement of the teaching of mathematics, which included more advanced arithmetics, a geometry, and an algebra, were frustrated by his death.
Colburn's fame rested mainly on his popularity as a teacher, which was owed much to his keen imagination, boundless enthusiasm for his subject, and love for those whom he taught. His chief contribution to teaching was in his emphasis on the rational rather than the memory method. With him study was to be a pleasure. As a true Pestalozzian, he surveyed the Hill of Knowledge and sought to lay out new approaches, avoiding unnecessary crags which impeded the progress of beginners.
