Excerpt from Annual Report of the American Historical Association, Vol. 1 of 2: For the Year 1906 Friday morning two conferences were held, full reports of which may be found below. One, dealing with the sequence of college courses in history, was presided over by Prof. Max Farrand, of leland Stanford University, and consisted mainly of a statement of the experience of teachers representing a considerable variety of insti inticua and points of view. The other conference, directed by Prof. Benjamin F. Shambaugh, of the State Historical Society of Iowa, was a gathering of the representatives of State and local historical societies. Two subjects were discussed, problems relative to the care and preservation of public archives and the marking of historic sites, the discussion in each case bringing out what was being done by the national association and by representative local agencies in these branches of local activity.
