(1810-1848), a New England educator. Born at Epping, New Hampshire. He was educated on a farm and at the district school, supplemented by two years at Hampton Academy. Mr. Page taught district schools and was an instructor in an academy. He attracted attention at teachers' meetings and formed an attachment for Horace Mann. In 1844 Mr. Page was appointed principal of the Albany State Normal School. This was the first school for teachers as far west as the Hudson Valley. Mr. Page was much harassed by the unwise, not to say ignorant, opposition of New York politicians. His contribution to education is The Theory and Practice of Teaching, one of the earliest and still one of the best works of the kind that has appeared in this country.
