A Particularly Lucid Lens: The Committee of Ten and the Social Studies Committee in Historical Context.

Whelan, Michael

Journal of Curriculum and Supervision, v12 n3 p256-68 Spr 1997

A few Progressive-era educators sought to supplant the study of history in schools. The fundamental reforms that Harvard professor Albert Bushnell Hart and the History Ten recommended for history education in 1893--that the subject hold a central place in the curriculum--were those advanced by the Committee on Social Studies 25 years later. Hart's contributions are further discussed. (47 references) (MLH)
