Description
Excerpt from A History Syllabus for Secondary Schools: Outlining the Four Years' Course in History, Recommended by the Committee of Seven of the American Historical Association
This syllabus is the work of a committee appointed by the New England History Teachers' Association "to prepare... a report on practical methods of teaching history, with such topical outlines, references, and bibliographies as shall help teachers to put into operation such suggestions for reform in history teaching as may be applicable to the conditions in the secondary schools." After the outlines had been tested by several teachers with their classes, the report of the committee was presented to the Association in April, 1901. The general and special introductions with ample illustrations of the outlines were then printed and sent to all members as a preliminary report. After this had been tried in the schools and discussed by the Association at its meeting in October, 1901, the report was approved and ordered published.
The original committee which prepared the preliminary report was composed of six members: Herbert D. Foster, of Dartmouth College, Chairman, Bemadotte Perrin of Yale University, Elizabeth K. Kendall of Wellesley College, Edwin A. Start, then of Tufts College, Ernest F. Henderson, Walter H. Cushing, then teacher of history in the Medford High School and now Principal of the South Framingham High School.
