RE: Registrationn of Securities
Horace Mann Balanced Fund, Inc.
In my capacity as General Counsel of Horace Mann Educators Corporation, I am
familiar with the securities offered by the Horace Mann Balanced Fund, including
the preparation and review of registration statements and post-effective
amendments pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.
After reviewing the relevant documents and making suitable inquiry of fund
personnel, I am of the opinion that the securities issued in fiscal year 1995 by
the Fund were legally issued, full paid and non-assessable.
Sincerely,
Ann Caparros<PAGE>
