From the Wikipedia article

John Pounds (17 June 1766 – 1 January 1839) was an English teacher, the man most responsible for the creation of the concept of Ragged schools. After Pounds' death, Thomas Guthrie (often credited with the creation of Ragged Schools) wrote his Plea for Ragged Schools and proclaimed John Pounds as the originator of this idea.
