Chisholm, Jr. In the latter part of the nineteenth century, Mary Sheldon Barnes emerged as a leading historical methods professor and history textbook author. Although men dominated the field, she wrote several articles and books alone or with her husband Earl Barnes about primary source materials and teaching. She lived during an era in United States history when education was evolving. Students studied traditional subjects such as grammar, mathematics, and Latin using rote memorization. Students who failed to learn classroom material faced varying degrees of punishment from teachers. Classroom pedagogy in the nineteenth century was teacher-focused and teachers often employed a considerable amount of physical fear. Mary Sheldon Barnes developed her pedagogy and writing style using scientific history and German seminary style classrooms. As a teacher, she taught in a normal school, gender specific college, and a co-educational institution of higher learning and these experiences impacted her pedagogy. Barnes rejected the regimented, teacher- centered, memorization/recitation pedagogy of the nineteenth century. She preferred a teaching style that provided more student-centered, discussion-oriented history pedagogy. This study utilizes biography as a format to explore Mary Sheldon Barnes as a pioneer teacher and author. Following her death, history textbook authors turned away from source material textbooks back to traditional chronological design and ignored her contributions to social education history. This dissertation provides an examination of her life and explores its influence on contemporary textbooks and pedagogy.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

H. BUTTERFIELD* Massachusetts Historical Society HE two-legged pack rat has been a common species in Boston and its neighborhood since the seventeenth century. Thanks Tto his activity the archival and manuscript resources concen- trated in the Boston area, if we extend it slightly north to include Salem and slightly west to include Worcester, are so rich and diverse as to be almost beyond the dreams of avarice. Not quite, of course, because Boston institutions and the super—pack rats who direct them are still eager to add to their resources of this kind, and constantly do. The admirable and long-awaited Guide to Archives and Manu- scripts in the United States, compiled by the National Historical Publications Commission and now in press, contains entries for be- tween 50 and 60 institutions holding archival and manuscript ma- terials in the Greater Boston area, with the immense complex of the Harvard University libraries in Cambridge counting only as one.1 The merest skimming of these entries indicates that all the activities of man may be studied from abundant accumulations of written records held by these institutions, some of them vast, some small, some general in their scope, others highly specialized. Among the fields in which there are distinguished holdings—one may say that specialists will neglect them only at their peril—are, first of all, American history and American literature, most of the sciences and the history of science, law and medicine, theology and church his- tory, the fine arts, finance and industry, maritime life, education, and reform.

    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY ’Volume XLV SEPTEMBER,1949 Number 3 The Heroic Age of the Social Sciences Robert S. Fletcher* History, political theory, and economics were not wholly neglected even in the colonial colleges. But history was chiefly treated as the handmaiden of theology and the Greek and Latin classics, while economic and political matters were dealt with in the courses in moral philosophy and ethics. The American Revolution and the experience of constitu- tion-making gave a great impetus to the study of politics. In 1779, Thomas Jefferson was instrumental in bringing about a notable revision of the curriculum of William and Mary College whereby more emphasis was placed upon political studies; by 1792 a knowIedge of “NationaI Law, Law of Nations, and the general principles of politics” was required for graduation. Other colleges followed this example. In the two succeeding generations the Federalist was listed as a text in many catalogs, and Locke, Rousseau, Montesquieu, and the Declaration of Independence were often included in required reading. New books on moral philosophy appeared with an ex- panded political emphasis. In 1795 a professor at Columbia published a Systematic Treatise on Moral Philosophy: Com- prehending the Law of Nature-Ethics-Natural Jurispru- dence-General Economy-Politics-and the Lnw of Nations which he optimistically hoped would “inflame the American youth with a true love for their country.”’ The first rumblings of the industrial revolution produced a greater emphasis on economics (or political economy, as it wag called). Adam Smith’s famous but wordy and difficult *Robert S. Fletcher is .a member of the history department at Oberlin College, Oberlin Oho.
  • The Mayor and the President by George W. Liebmann

    The Mayor and the President by George W. Liebmann

    The Mayor and the President by George W. Liebmann This symposium has unlikely origins. It was in some measure prompted by a recent speech before the Supreme Court Historical Society by the celebrated Professor John Yoo. By way of demonstrating that the policies relating to detention and interrogation with which he is identified were consonant with American traditions, Professor Yoo delivered an address contending that the Merryman and Milligan cases were aberrations, what Justice Frankfurter called in another context, “derelicts on the waters of the law”. He alleged that “Merryman remains unknown to almost all but those scholars who toil in the academic fields of the separation of powers or the early days of the Civil War.”1 Merryman of course is better known than that. It was the subject of a centennial symposium in the federal district court for Maryland in 1961, addressed by William L. Marbury, Chief Judge Roszel C. Thomsen and Taney’s biographer H.H.Walker Lewis.2 It figures prominently in a number of books on executive power in wartime by such as Carl Brent Swisher (1974)3, Clinton Rossiter (1945)4, Frederick Bernays Wiener (1940)5 and Charles Warren (1935)6 that you will not find prominently cited in the recent writings of Professor Yoo, as well as in Chief Justice Rehnquist’s book on the subject.7 In 1961, executive detention without trial was not a burning issue. It is now. There is a vast literature, and there is therefore no excuse for another redundant discussion. The remarks of all three speakers today will therefore focus on unpublished documents by or about the contending 1 protagonists.

  • German Scholars at the Johns Hopkins University

    German Scholars at the Johns Hopkins University

    GERMAN SCHOLARS AT THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY By AUGUSTUS J. PRAHL In every sphere of human activity, be it agriculture, manufacture, com- merce, arts, or learning, men of German origin have helped in shaping the future of this country. Such names as Mühlenberg, Herkimer, DeKalb, Steuben, Follen, Lieber, Carl Schurz, and scores of others could be cited who are known to every student of the history of the United States. Turn- vereine and Singing Societies—two specific German institutions—have played their part; the one in matters of education, the other in developing a love and appreciation for music and songs. However, we do not wish to speak in general about the influence of Germans on American life. As the title indicates, this short article con- cerns itself with the lives and the activities of some scholars of German origin associated with the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryand. Concerning the purpose of the Johns Hopkins University, President Daniel Coit Gilman, the organizer of the institution in 1878, states in his book, The Launching of a University, that "it was the purpose of those in authority to have a university and that they meant by this an institution for graduate students. The fact that so many of the graduates of our colleges were going to Europe, particularly Germany, shows that there was a demand for work higher than that done at the colleges." Of the six professors who were appointed first, three were English men, the others were Americans who had studied in Germany for a considerable length of time.
