  • Maybe they haven't decided yet what is right: English and Spanish perspectives on teaching historical significance

      Teaching History article
    Historians and history teachers understand well that students, when they ‘answer’ questions, are creating their own interpretation.

  • Elementary Education in the Nineteenth Century

      Classic Pamphlet
    All schemes for education involve some consideration of the surrounding society, its existing structure and how it will-and should-develop.

  • Radicalism and its Results, 1760-1837

      Classic Pamphlet
    Radicalism with a large "R", unlike Conservatism with a large "C" and Liberalism with a large "L", is not a historical term of even proximate precision. There was never a Radical Party with a national organization, local associations, or a treasury. But there were, and there are, "Radicals", generally qualified...
