Excerpt from Suggestions for the Teaching of History and Civics in the High School The Duty of the History Teacher to the High School. - The problem of teaching history in the high school is not alone one of meeting requirements for affiliation with the State Univer sity. The first duty of the high school teacher is to the majority of the students. If this obligation is fully discharged there can be little question of affiliation with the University, for that will come as a matter of course. In view of the fact that a majority of the high school students never go to college, the task is rather one of equipping them with a certain amount of training which will be of direct benefit to them in understand ing and meeting the problems offlaibriife. Under these cir cumstances, it is necessary to throw the pupils into contact with problems which they might otherwise better attack at a later datei' This is an unfortunate situation, but neither university nor high school can ignore it. The public welfare demands a hearty co operation between both institutions in order to accomplish as much as possible for'the high school student.
