Excerpt from The Teaching of Government: Report to the American Political Science Association by the Committee on Instruction
Various national organizations are vitally interested in the effort to improve the teaching of government in the schools. The American Political Science Association is naturally one of the foremost among these and from the time of its formation has given special attention to methods of instruction in political science. As a result of the interest manifested in the first sessions of the Association a committee of five was appointed to investigate and report upon the teaching of government in secondary schools. The report of this committee and the conclusions resulting therefrom mark an important stage in the movement to improve civic instruction. To supplement the work of the committee of five and to extend the scope of its investigations it was voted at the annual business meeting of the Association held at Buffalo in December, 1911, "that a committee of seven members be appointed to consider the methods of teaching and studying government now pursued in American schools, colleges and universities, and to suggest means of enlarging and improving such instruction." The following members were appointed by the President to constitute this committee: James A. James, Professor of History, Northwestern University; Mabel Hill, Associate Director Garland School, Boston, Massachusetts; Frank E. Horack, Professor of Political Science, State University of Iowa; Edgar Dawson, Professor of Political Science, Hunter College, New York City; Walter L. Fleming, Professor of History, Louisiana State University, J. Lynn Barnard, Professor of History and Government, School of Pedagogy, Philadelphia; and Charles Grove Hames, Professor of Government, University of Texas.
