Excerpt from The Study of History in Secondary Schools, 1911: Report to the American Historical Association
We have made a new study of the conditions in the schools, and have entered once again into a careful consideration of the history curriculum. The Report of the Committee of Seven, however, has necessarily been our starting-point; we were appointed to determine what modifications, if any, were needed in the recommendations of the earlier Committee. This task could not be performed without interpreting the Report; and in some instances interpretation or emphasis appeared more desirable than any very distinct modification. In the following pages, therefore, we present, not only our own recommendations for change, but also what appears to us to be the proper or the most helpful and useful construction of the work of the Committee of Seven.
II. The Report of the Committee of Seven
In 1899, when the Committee of Seven published its Report, the schools were ready for decided change in the curriculum and for advance in methods. The Report appears to have judged the general situation correctly, and, in the main, to have recommended steps that the schools were prepared to take.
