Daniel Putnam King



 


January 14, 1837, Boston, Massachusetts
When Daniel P. King (Mary Upton's cousin) returned to the Massachusetts Legislature, he rendered a great service to the cause of education and instructed the Committee on Education to consider the expediency of providing a law for the better education of teachers. It led to the establishment of the Board of Education and of several normal schools in the Commonwealth.[1]
