The correlation of history with geography and current events is notably high for all courses, although, of course, the correlation of ancient history with current events cannot be expected to be as high as for other history courses. Correlation with English composition is fairly high throughout, while that with English literature is not high except, as we would anticipate, in the case of English history. Correlation with civics becomes increasingly prominent from course to course, until in American history it becomes almost the universal practice. Correlation with political economy is not high until American history is reached. As is to be expected, the correlation with Latin is highest for ancient history. The sciences and drawing do not share in this effort to a great extent in any course. Art and architecture receive considerable attention in the first three courses, but suddenly drop to an almost negligible position in American history. Spelling and penmanship seem to be fairly strong correlates in all courses. On the whole, while we find some teachers who fail to utilize the opportunities of interrelation that the subject of history affords, there is a very commendable tendency to

do so.

The aims listed in the questionnaire and the percentages of the teachers of each of the courses who have signified their concurrence in them will be found in Table IX. Aims (2), (6), (7), (9) and (10) are seen to be assented to by very large percentages of

versal with teachers of American history. Aim (1) is concurred in by a larger proportion of teachers of ancient history than of teachers of other courses, which appears to conform to the tendency noted above under the head of "How Text-books Are Used" of a large percentage of the teachers of this course to use the text-book as the main body of the course with little or no collateral reading. The writer confesses that he was somewhat disappointed to discover that such a large proportion of the teachers should consider this a valid aim. Aim (3) naturally leaps into prominence in the course of American history, after having had only a fair holding in preceding courses. Aim (5) is considered a valid one by approximately three-fifths of the teachers in all courses. Aim (8) is generously subscribed to by teachers of all courses, but more especially by teachers of ancient and American history.

Teachers were asked to state any further aims they keep prominent in their methods of teaching history, and space was provided for such statement. Few teachers availed themselves of the opportunity given, and, from the conscientious manner in which the other questions of the inquiry were answered by nearly all teachers, we are led to conclude that the aims as stated comprehend all that this large group of teachers purpose to accomplish in their teaching of the subject. Such aims as were appended were for the most part readily classifiable under those submitted in the questionnaire.

Reports from

The Historical Field

The fall meeting of the New England History Teachers' Association was held at Brown University, Providence, R. I., on Saturday, October 21. The program, as previously announced in the MAGAZINE, was carried out. The following officers were chosen for the ensuing year: President, Miss Margaret McGill, Classical High School, Newtonville, Mass.; vice-president, Prof. H. M. Varrell, Simmons College, Boston, Mass.; secretary-treasurer, Horace Kidger, Technical High School, Newtonville, Mass. Additional members of the Council, Miss Harriett Tuell, High School, Somerville, Mass.; Miss Blanche Leavitt, Rogers High School, Newport, R. I.; Prof. George M. Dutcher, Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn.; and Prof. Orrin C. Hormell, Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine.

The [English] Historical Association issued in October, 1916, Leaflet No. 42, comprising a bibliography of political theories. The paper is divided into two parts; first, works published upon the political theory of the Middle Ages to the end of the sixteenth century; and, secondly, works treating of political theories during the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The latter division is further sub-divided into general works, special works and those dealing with England, America, France and Germany.

New York City, which is so rich in historic associations and so poor in historic landmarks, has come into the possession of the Dyckman House, built about 1783. The house is the gift of Mrs. Bashford Dean and Mrs. Alexander M. Welch, who are descendants of William Dyckman, the builder of the house. The building has been carefully restored to its original condition, furnished in the style of its period, and the grounds about it laid out in their original character. The plan is well conceived, and deserves to be followed in other parts of the country. It is important to note that no attempt has been made to construct a miscellaneous collection of historical relics in the house, but that it has been furnished in such a way as to give an adequate idea of a New York household at the close of the Revolution.

The Colorado Teachers' Association met in three places, instead of attempting to hold one session for the entire State. At the meeting of the Western Division, held at Grand Junction, October 30, 31, and November 1, Miss Elizabeth Chaney, of Montrose, presided over the Section on Civics and History. The Southern Division met at Pueblo on November 1, 2 and 3. The History and Civics Section was presided over by Lemuel Pitts, Jr. A series of papers was presented working out a program in history from the sixth to the twelfth grade. Prof. J. Parrish, of Colorado College, spoke upon "What the College May Reasonably Expect in History Preparation." The Eastern Division met at Denver on November 2, 3 and 4, and the History and Civics Section was presided over by Mr. Mark J. Sweaney, of Colorado Springs. The topics discussed were "The Ninth Grade Child in History Work," by Miss Louise A. Merrill, of Denver; "War and Peace in the Light of History," by Professor Eckhardt, of the University of Colorado, and "The Use of Magazines in History Classes," by Mr. D. Shaw Duncan, of the University of Denver.

The October number of the Bulletin of the Metropolitan Museum of Art announces a series of lectures for students

of history in the high schools. The lecturers are Miss G. M. A. Richter, Professors Von den Ven, James Harvey Robinson and Christian Gauss. These are scheduled for October 11, 25 and November 7 and 22, at 3.30. Professor Paul Von den Ven was formerly professor of Byzantine Philology at the University of Louvain, Belgium, and is now a lecturer at Princeton University. He will speak on "The Roman Empire in the East, Its Place as Between the Ancient and Modern World." Professor Robinson will speak of "Medieval Europe; " Professor Gauss on the

A unique departure in this number of the Bulletin is an article "for boys and girls" describing a marble relief of a young horseman belonging to the fourth century B. С.

The Bureau of Municipal Research of New York City is carrying on some investigations, and has been preparing some material to assist teachers of civics in New York State. This work is under the direction of Prof. Charles A. Beard, of Columbia University, who is the supervisor of the training school for public service, which is connected with the Bureau.

A series of conferences upon the teaching of civics have been held in New York under the direction of Doctor Dawson, of Hunter College. A number of prominent teachers in New York and New Jersey have been meeting together to prepare a syllabus for the American Political Science Association covering some suggestions on the teaching of civics.

A third edition of President Jacob Gould Shurman's "The Balkan Wars, 1912-1913" has been issued by the Princeton University Press. Little change has been made between this and the second edition which appeared in December,

INDIANA HISTORY SECTION MEETING.

The History Section of the Indiana State Teachers' Association held a meeting Thursday, October 26, at Indianapolis, in connection with the annual session of the general association. The first part of the program was devoted to topics of a practical pedagogical interest. Prof. W. L. Lynch, of the State Normal School, read a paper on "The Correlation of History and Civics in the Seventh and Eighth Grades." The discussion of this topic, led by Mr. S. C. Morrill, of the Indianapolis Schools, resulted in the adoption of a resolution to appoint a committee to consider, in co-operation with the Indiana State Board of Education, the general subject of the correlation of the civics and history courses. Miss R. Katharine Beeson, of the Lafayette Schools, concluded this section of the program with a paper upon the general relations of the history and English courses.

For the second part of the program Prof. Andrew C. McLaughlin, of the University of Chicago, gave a most inspiring and suggestive address upon "The Value of Historical Study." The attendance for this address and for the first part of the program was especially good, approximately a thousand teachers being present. Following the more formal session a most enjoyable luncheon was given by the History Section in honor of Professor McLaughlin. Prof. Beverley W. Bond, Jr., of Purdue University, presided at both the meeting and the luncheon, while Miss Josephine Cox, of Shortridge High School, Indianapolis, acted as secretary. The business meeting of the History Section, at which reports will be heard and policies outlined, will be held in Indianapolis, the last of February.

IOWA SOCIAL SCIENCE TEACHERS.

At the recent meeting of the State Teachers' Association, in the Social Science branch of that organization, the following officers were elected at its recent meeting: President, Prof. Gilbert G. Benjamin, Department of History, State University of Iowa; vice-president, Professor Peterson, Professor of Political Science, State Teachers' College, Cedar Falls, Iowa; secretary, Miss M. A. Hutchinson, Instructor of History, West Des Moines High School. Mr. Thomas Teakle, of West Des Moines High School, was made chairman of the Executive Committee.

This Association comprises university and college professors, instructors and teachers in the departments of political science, economics, sociology and history. At the last meeting, it was voted that the history section of the State Teachers' Association hereafter should be more closely allied with the social science teachers' association.

At the history section of the Social Science Teachers of the State Teachers' Association, the program was as follows: Chairman, Professor Clark, head of the Department of History, Drake University; "The Teaching of Iowa State History in the Schools of Iowa," Prof. Dan Clark, of the State Historical Society, Iowa City, Iowa; "The Method of Teaching Current Events in the High School," Prof. H. G. Plum, Professor of History, State University of Iowa; "The Iowa State Primary," Professor Peterson, Department of Political Science, Iowa State Teachers' College. This paper was read in the absence of Mr. Plum by Mr. Clifford H. Moore, Instructor of History, State University of Iowa. Prof. Charles Zueblin addressed the history and politics section on "The Ideal City."

It is hoped that a closer union between the instructors of history on allied subjects in our universities and colleges and in the secondary and lower schools may be brought about, and it is the further desire of the new administration that a separate meeting may be held in the spring aside from the meeting of the State Teachers' Association.
