DOWNLOAD EBOOKJames William Pigg-Stannard (1791-1865) from Norwich, England, was an Educational Reformer, and Classical Schoolmaster of Mathematics and Languages. At a pivotal point in history, he championed teacher licensing, public school education for girls, pre-school for children, and the inclusion of the Holy Bible in the curriculum. As a Professor at Bourbon College in France, he taught English to many Parisians, as well as French (with the Classics, Mathematics, etc.) to scores of Approved Teachers.
