Mann not only devoted his time and strength to the cause of education, he also ex...pended for it a part of his emoluments as secretary, which consisted of about $1500, "a miserable salary/' as it is called by Ameri- cans to-day. His disinterestedness and generosity equalled his zeal; nothing was awarded for the purchase of books, for his correspondence, or the expense of his lecture tours during four months of the year; he furnished at his own cost geograph- ical maps to the schools; he likewise undertook his European trip at his own expense. No sacri- fice was too great for the furtherance of his aim; pecuniary considerations appealed to him very 68 HORACE MANN slightly; he was astonished to find all his friends, with the exception of Channing, expressing curi- osity as to the amount of the salary he received.
