Social Science, Social Cohesion, and Moral Uplift: The Historian and the Development of Modern American Secondary School History Curricula

This dissertation is an effort to explore the influence of the scientific, social, political, and moral beliefs prevalent among American historians on the development of modern American secondary school history curricula at the end of the nineteenth century. It traces both the origins of the American historical profession and the profession's energetic efforts to extend its influence from the colleges to the schools. It examines a variety of seminal works on historical pedagogy, journal articles, high school history textbooks, committee reports, transcripts of meetings of historians and school administrators, and school district documents.
