"look back upon. But, even at that time, his lively affections and naturally joyous nature bubbled up irrepressibly when in company with those of his own age. He was full of practical fun and witty repartee; playing his native logic on all half-thinkers, but never unkindly. If any opportunity had been offered him for artistic culture, he might have excelled in it; for he sometimes tried his wings in secret. But there was a repressing(...)".

How Kindergarten Came to America: Friedrich Froebel's Radical Vision of Early Childhood Education (Classics in Progressive Education)
(Originally published as Reminiscences of Friedrich Froebe...)
Originally published as Reminiscences of Friedrich Froebel, this enchanting 1894 account of the German inventor of kindergartens was instrumental in bringing kindergartens to the United States. This lively portrait of a pioneer of modern education is a refreshing reminder of the essential role of play and creative exploration in the development of children. Froebel's methods provide a much-needed antidote to the current emphasis on high-stakes testing and accelerated curricula—a corruption, as Herbert Kohl argues in his foreword, of the original concept of kindergartens as children's gardens of learning.

Mary Tyler Mann was an American educator and author.
Background
Mary Tyler Peabody Mann was born on November 16, 1806 in Cambridge, Massachussets, the second of the seven children of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Palmer) Peabody. The eldest child of the family was Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, and the third was Sophia Amelia, who married Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1842. Their father, a graduate of Dartmouth College in the class of 1800, was a physician and dentist with varied cultural interests, and the mother conducted a school in which her own children received their excellent training. In 1832 the Peabodys removed from Salem to Boston and opened a bookstore as a sort of family enterprise. They imported French and German books and periodicals, carried a stock of artists' supplies chiefly for the personal convenience of Washington Allston and made their shop one of the focal points of the Transcendental movement.
Career
Mary accompanied her sickly younger sister Sophia to Cuba. While in Cuba, Mary worked as a governess to a Cuban family.
Returning to Boston in spring 1835, Mary moved in with her brother George and found employment tutoring students in Italian. After a short interlude of substituting for Elizabeth at Amos Bronson Alcott’s experimental Temple School, Mary returned to Salem, where she established a successful school for little children in her home and began to write educational works for children and parents. She had published a children's book, The Flower People and a cook book, Christianity in the Kitchen: A Physiological Cook Book (1857; 1858), based on the soundest scientific knowledge then available; she now devoted herself to writing her husband's life and editing his works, producing her Life and Works of Horace Mann. In the Life the only reference to herself is at the beginning of Chapter v: "On the 16t of May, 1843, Mr. Mann was again married, and sailed for Europe to visit European schools, especially in Germany, where he expected to derive most benefit. " She wrote for various periodicals, made translations from the Spanish, supervised the education of her sons, interested herself actively in philanthropic work among Indians and negroes, and aided her sister Elizabeth in her kindergarten in Boston. Her essay, "Moral Culture of Infancy, " was published in 1863 in a single small volume with Elizabeth Peabody's "Kindergarten Guide. " Juanita: A Romance of Real Life in Cuba Fifty Years Ago (1887) appeared posthumously and exhibits both the limitations and the virtues of her remarkable mind, which kept its vigor to the end. A few hours before her death she called for the Boston Evening Transcript and listened with evident pleasure while a review of one of her sister's books was read aloud to her. After her husband's death at Yellow Springs, Ohio, August 2, 1859, she returned to Massachusetts and made her home successively in Concord, Cambridge, and Jamaica Plain, where she died.
Achievements
Mary Tyler Peabody Mann is known by her work Life of Horace Mann (1865) that was followed by five articles in a series written by "celebrated women" published in the 1868-69 issues of the Herald of Health and Journal of Physical Culture. Signing herself "Mrs. Horace Mann, " she wrote on child care, kindergarten, and women's suffrage. She contributed an essay on the benefits of college education for women to the poet and suffragist Julia Ward Howe's Sex and Education: A Reply to Dr. E. H. Clark's "Sex in Education" (1874).
Quotations:
"I shall go wherever I am asked to participate for freedom. "
Personality
Mary first met her future husband Horace Mann in the Ashburton Place boarding house kept by the mother of James Freeman Clarke. They were alike in their intellectual ardor and in their devotion to educational and philanthropic work, and she was soon in love with him; but Mann was all but broken by grief for the death of his wife, and some nine years passed before he could bring himself to propose marriage to her. Meanwhile, Mary spent the years 1832-35 with Sophia in Cuba and on her return was Elizabeth's assistant in her school.
Connections
On May 1, 1843, Mary married Horace Mann. Their marriage proved singularly happy. Mrs. Mann was her husband's active collaborator and influenced his life and thought profoundly; she bore him three sons.
