English teachers of history organized an association about three
years ago, in May, 1906. At a preliminary meeting held at University
College, London, it was resolved to form an Historical Association.
On June 30th of the same year a constitution and by-laws were adopted
and officers of the Association were elected. All persons are eligible
for membership who are engaged or interested in the teaching of
history. The annual subscription to the Association is five shillings,
payable on July 1st. The president is Professor C. H. Firth, Oxford.
The treasurer is J. E. Morris, and the secretary Miss M. B. Curran, 6
South Square, Gray’s Inn, London, W. C. There are 15 vice-presidents,
including men and women connected with college and school life of
the kingdom, many of whom are well-known in America. In addition to
these officers there is a council of 29 persons. The association has
established a number of local branches which in March, 1909, numbered
13. The activities of the Association are the holding of annual
meetings, the encouragement of local centers and the study of local
