Joseph Lancaster (25 November 1778 - 23 October 1838) was an English Quaker, and public education innovator. Lancaster was born the son of a shopkeeper in Southwark, south London. In 1798, he founded a free elementary school in Borough Road, Southwark, using a variant of the monitorial system. His ideas though were not original, as Dr. Andrew Bell had been using a very similar system in Madras referred to as the "Madras System of Education".
