About the author
For more than half a century, Mosiah Hall worked in education in Utah. Archival records describe him as an educator who devoted fifty-seven years to the field, and note that he served as an institute teacher, lecturer, visitor, and inspector of high schools for the state.
He also wrote on education and society. Library and public-domain catalog records connect him with works including A Practical Sociology, Education, in What Does It Find a Basis and Explanation?, and Parent and Child, Volume III: Child Study and Training. Together, those titles suggest the range of his interests: schooling, social life, and the development of children.
Born in Kaysville, Utah, in 1862, Hall became known in his day as a thoughtful voice on child training and education. Although he is not widely read now, surviving archives and digitized editions of his books show a writer deeply engaged with the everyday work of teaching, parenting, and building better communities.
