In the fifth grade the topics are organized into twelve groups, lettered A to L inclusive, with from three to five sub-topics in a group. The following selections show the general scope of the work outlined: Group D is “The Great West,” and Daniel Boone is one of the sub-topics to be taught in that group. Group E, “The Northwest,” contains the story of George Rogers Clark as one of the sub-topics. Group G, “Increasing the Size of the New Republic,” contains the story of Lewis and Clark. Group L, “Great Industries,” contains the following stories: Cotton--the cotton fields; the factory. Wheat--the wheat field; grain elevators. Cattle--cattle-grazing; stockyards. Coal and Iron--the mines; the furnaces; the products. In addition to these biographical stories selected from the field of American history, the committee suggests that twenty minutes a week for one-half of the year should be devoted to the study of civics. The following are suggested topics to be discussed: “The Fire Department,” “The Police Department,” “The Post-office System,” “Street Cleaning and Sprinkling,” “Public Libraries.” The committee, in a table given on page 126, shows how a place may be made on the program in each grade for the study of history. That program provides only one recitation per week in the first three grades. In the fourth and fifth grades there would be two recitations a week. The work suggested in the report for the first five grades could be easily accomplished in the time stated in the program.
