George W. Minns

George Washington Minns (October 6, 1813 in Boston, Massachusetts - January 14, 1895 in Brookline, Massachusetts) was an American teacher, notable for running the Minns Evening Normal School, which was established in San Francisco, California, in 1857 in order to train teachers for the city's public school system.
