George Barrell Emerson
M, #14327, b. 12 September 1797, d. 4 March 1881
George Barrell Emerson was born on 12 September 1797 in Wales, Maine.1 He married Olivia Buckminister in 1823. George Barrell Emerson died on 4 March 1881 in Boston, Massachusetts, at the age of 83.1
He entered Harvard College in 1813, and graduated in the Class of '17, his classmates including such men as George Bancroft. Caleb Cushing, the Rev. S. J. May, the Hon. S. Salisbury, and the Hon. S. E. Sewall. After graduation Mr. Emerson accepted the position of master of a private school in Lancaster at a salary of $500. This Position be retained for two years and at the end of that time became a tutor of mathematics in Harvard College. He was afterward invited to accept the position of Professor of Mathematics at the college, but he declined this offer, and, in 1821, accepted the position of master of the English Classical School of Boston. His main idea in the government of this school was to avoid corporal punishment, unless actually compelled to resort to it, and to appeal to the sense of honour of his pupils to secure their good conduct.
Mr. Emerson remained as teacher of this school for two years, when he was induced to take charge of a school for young ladies, which was opened in Beacon Street, Boston. About this time be became interested largely in matters of a more public interest. He was one of the founders of the Boston Society of Natural History, which was formed in 1831 and in 1837 he became its President. It was through his efforts that the Legislature was induced to authorize the geological survey of Massachusetts.
In 1875 the low condition of the public schools of New-England became an object of special attention with the American Institute of Instruction, of which Mr. Emerson was the President, and a committee headed by him was appointed to memorialise the Legislature for provision for the better preparation of the teachers. As a result of this movement, a Board of Education was formed, which resulted in the reforms of the school system of New-England. Mr. Emerson continued his labors as an educator for over 40 years, and his record was one of unfailing success. At the end of that time he found himself considerably worn in health, and, on the advice of his friends, he made a trip to Europe. In 1878 he published a volume entitled Reminiscences of an old Teacher. This is the only book which he ever published, but he was a constant contributor to the educational periodicals.1
