| Summary | "Popular Education" by Ira Mayhew is a treatise on educational principles written in the mid-19th century. The work aims to explore a comprehensive understanding of education, advocating for a holistic approach that cultivates the body, mind, and spirit of every child, emphasizing the importance of good common school education as a necessity for all. At the start of the book, Mayhew outlines the importance of a well-rounded education, asserting that true education should encompass the entirety of a person’s faculties—physical, intellectual, and moral. He reflects on the deficiencies of existing educational systems that often neglect one or two areas, particularly the moral and physical aspects. Mayhew's commentary highlights historical views on education involving the uplifting of society through knowledge and virtue, while he argues for a more integrated educational framework to prepare not just students but responsible citizens for future societal challenges.
