“It is quite proper, and in fact to be expected, that the Association of New England History Teachers should raise the question of industrial history. Since the report of the Committee of Seven was drafted a new type of school, the industrial school, has come to the front, and is at the present moment being urged in Massachusetts and in New Jersey by State commissions, and is being favored also by city and State boards of education in various parts of the United States. The New England Association, therefore, raises the question as to what history should be given in such schools.” DIRECTIONS FOR WRITTEN WORK AS USED IN THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT OF MEREDITH COLLEGE, RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA. The purpose of these directions is to save time and strength from so many oral explanations--half of which are forgotten; to save the time and nerves of the teacher in correcting papers; and to help the English work, as it is assumed that correct technical form is largely a matter of habit, and when once acquired needs so little attention that the entire thought of the student may be given to the subject matter. Each set of directions is mimeographed, and every student given a copy to keep in her history notebook. To make them a success takes time and persistent effort for the first few weeks, but the results yield large dividends for the remainder of the year. While, if one is so fortunate as to have the same students for more than one year, the results are even greater. MARY SHANNON SMITH. Directions for Special College History Papers. I.
