of nature into the broad field of natural history One aspect of early natural history concerned the use of plants
for drugs and medicine The early herbalists sometimes overworked their imaginations in this respect For
example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that resembles an internal organ would cure

knowledge of drugs and their uses

Perhaps it was his own lack of adequate schooling that inspired Horace Mann to work so hard for the important reforms in education that he accomplished While he was still a boy, his father and older brother died, and he became responsible for supporting his family Like most of the children in his town, he attended school only two
or three months a year Later, with the help of several teachers, he was able to study law and became a member
of the Massachusetts bar, but he never forgot those early struggles.
While serving in Massachusetts legislature, he signed a historic education bill that set up a state board of
education Without regret, he gave up his successful legal practice and political career to become the first
secretary of the board There he exercised an enormous influence during the critical period of reconstruction that brought into existence the American graded elementary school as substitute for the older distinct school system Under his leadership, the curriculum was restructured, the school year was increased to a minimum of six
months, and mandatory schooling was extended to age sixteen Other important reforms included the
establishment of state normal schools for teacher training, institutes for in-service teacher education, and lyceums for adult education He was also instrument in improving salaries for teachers and creating school libraries
Mann’s ideas about school reform were developed and distributed in twelve annual reports to the state of Massachusetts that he wrote during his tenure as secretary of education Considered quite radical at the time, the Massachusetts reforms later served as a model for the nation Mann was recognized as the father of public education

II Topic: What do you think of the changes in life?
Everything in the universe is in constant change And everything needs continual improvement if the ever changing and increasing demands of humankind are to be met If I am ever given the chance to change one important thing about my home town, it would be internet service Needless to say that nothing generally revolutionized the way we live as internet in the past decade Thus, an improvement in this vital service would mean an even more, unheard betterment to the people in my home town.
It is said that information is power True saying indeed! I can envision how everything in my home town could improve dramatically if the internet service in it were made free, fast and staying out there like electricity, telephone or water all the time One thing, a fast free and reliable internet service could improve in my home town is the way people work If there is a this said service people in my home town must not necessarily commute to a far place to do their job This in turn would mean less traffic jams, spacious work place, more time for family and recreation and so on.
The way people learn would be another important thing that a fast, free and reliable internet service could better in my home town People will have the chance to go through tremendous and different information resources in a very small amount of time They, apparently will also take less time to share it This assures a more fulfilled life for my home town people
Since its advent, internet touched every part of our life It in a dazzling way improved the way we do business, learn and communicate A change in internet service implies good way of living for everyone in my home town.
