Excerpt from Indiana School Journal, 1883, Vol. 28: Organ of the State Teachers' Association, Publishes Official Opinions of the Superintendent of Public Instruction

The late Hon. E. D. Mansfield, author, among many writings, of a book on American Education, was himself a member, and says in one of his books I doubt whether in one association and in an equal space of time there was ever concentrated in this country a larger measure of talent, of information, and of zeal. It was a means of great intellectual development. In its meetings I have heard such discussions as I have neither heard nor read of elsewhere.

Some of these discussions, so far as they were conducted in essays and addresses, are, happily, still accessible in several neat volumes published by the College. Two of them, picked up for a tri¿e at a book-stall in Cincinnati, are among the most highly prized pedagogic possessions of the writer. In another article it may be practicable to give some review of, and extracts from their contents, most of which have high value to this day, and are not likely to become altogether obsolete to the end of time.
