Excerpt from Outline of an Emergency Course of Instruction on the War

The importance of the teacher"s part in the great fight for liberty, democracy, and civilization has been universally recognized. The teachers themselves have been alive to the responsibility thus imposed upon them, but they have often worked under serious disadvantages. Many of them have had no specific preparation for this kind of work, and though suggestions of one kind or another have been numerous, they have frequently been either too general to be of much value or based upon insufficient knowledge of actual conditions in the schools. In the autumn of 1917 the Bureau of Education published a pamphlet prepared by the National Board for Historical Service entitled "Opportunities for History Teachers" (Teachers" Leaflet, No. 1). This was intended primarily for the use of teachers in secondary schools and has bad a wide circulation. Since then a large amount of additional material has been issued, some of it well adapted to the needs of elementary teachers; but they have needed more definite guidance in the use of it. It is the purpose of this leaflet, prepared by a committee appointed by the National Board for Historical Service, to supply such guidance. Two members of the committee, Dr. Coulomb and Dr. Gerson, are district superintendents in the public schools of Philadelphia, and Dr. McKinley is the editor of the History Teacher"s Magazine. The board has been decidedly fortunate in securing the expert service of historical scholars whoso experience has also given them a thorough understanding of what can or can not be done in the schools.
