Extractions: Teaching American History Collection This collection is in progress. Materials are being added weekly. Collection Description Original documents such as diaries, maps, photographs, speeches and memoirs are the raw materials of history. As part of the historical record, these clues provide physical links to the participants and witnesses of past events and enable researchers to view those events from multiple perspectives. By revealing the language, values, hopes and fears of people who lived in the past, primary sources humanize history and add dimension to the names and facts detailed in books. When introduced into the classroom setting, historical artifacts become powerful tools with which students can critically analyze events of the past and imagine the possibilities for their future. The TAHIL collection also contains original documents concerning depression-era Louisiana and detailing Huey P. Long's "Share Our Wealth" program. From the Historic New Orleans Collection, a variety of original broadsides and speeches offer insight into the popular appeal of Long's Louisiana program. Transportation maps provided by the Louisiana State Museum illustrate the results of Long's massive road-building program. The Louisiana State Archives Collection offers researchers a unique opportunity to critically assess the relief programs implemented during the administrations of Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt. As part of the Archives' collection, the 1932-33 records of the outgoing Urban Relief Administration detail the results of their relief programs in Louisiana. For comparison, the 1933 records of the newly established Federal Emergency Relief Administration detail the goals and objectives of FDR's New Deal administration.

Proctor leaves a legacy at UF that extends beyond the historic districts and buildings on campus that he helped identify and preserve.

Extractions: Department of History T he courses and workshops offered by the History Project take a common approach, one marked by frank acknowledgment of the challenges secondary teachers face, by a deep engagement with scholarship, and by an open environment where teachers can work through solutions with one another and with professors. Our goal is to present teachers with the latest thinking on an important issue undiluted, with the conflict left in and the blank places visible, to acquaint them with the state of scholarship. We want teachers to understand the interpretative as well as the factual nature of history, to work more with supplementary texts and primary materials, and to see themselves and their students as participants in the process of creating, of doing history, not simply as the recipients of an immutable body of information.

http://www.athens.edu/history.shtml

Extractions: Alabama's Oldest Institution of Higher Learning Athens State University is both the oldest and youngest institution of higher education in Alabama's state educational system. The Institution was founded in 1822 by local citizens who purchased five acres of land, erected a building, and began Athens Female Academy. Ownership of the school was transferred in 1842 to the Tennessee Conference of the Methodist Church. With the birth of the North Alabama Conference of the Methodist Church in 1870, the Institution came under the jurisdiction of that body. On May 10, 1974, the Board of Trustees requested from the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church that the Institution seek affiliation with the State of Alabama. The conference, at its annual meeting in June 1974, gave the Board of Trustees this permission and authorized the transfer of the Institution to the State of Alabama. In June 1975, the Institution was accepted by the Alabama State Board of Education subject to the appropriation of operating funds by the Alabama Legislature. Later that year, the Legislature appropriated funds for the operation of the Institution to serve the graduates of state junior, community, and technical colleges/institutes. The institution's name has changed several times in its 180+ year history, following adjustments in purpose and governance. Athens Female Academy, upon transfer to the Tennessee Conference of the Methodist Church in 1842, became Athens Female Institute. Then in 1889 after having been transferred to the newly formed North Alabama conference, the College was known as Athens Female College. In 1931, the College became co-educational and was known as Athens College. In 1975, when the institution became part of the state educational system, it was renamed Athens State College, marking the initiation of an era of increased opportunity for service. In 1998, a bill was passed by the legislature to rename the College to Athens State University. The long history of service by the University is the foundation upon which the future of the University rests.

4-H History
Many teachers began to state arithmetic problems in farm terms such as acres,bushels, Background and history of 4H by Jamie K. Stensland,
http://www.extension.iastate.edu/4H/history.html

Extractions: 4-H didn't start at any one time or place, but has developed according to needs of people. As interest grew in helping rural youth, the public schools took a leading part. Educators took action by introducing farm and home topics (often called nature studies) in many courses during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many teachers began to state arithmetic problems in farm terms such as acres, bushels, and tons instead of abstract terms like time and distance. An example of one math problem might have been: if a farmer raises 80 bushels of corn per acre, and planted 4 acres of corn, how many bushels of corn will he harvest? Teachers also assigned essay topics on the farm and home in grammar classes and in writing exercises. These ideas led teachers to take their classes outdoors. Class trips to gardens and corn plots became popular. Pupils studying the same subjects were easily formed into school-sponsored "clubs." Adult meetings, called Farmer Institutes, and county fairs also helped introduce farm and home topics. The institutes provided competitive classes for rural youth so farm children could show results of their work. In 1857, the Iowa State Agricultural Society held a boys' corn growing contest. The winning yield was 95.5 bushels per acre. In 1903-04, Wallaces' Farmer held corn growing contests for boys?the contests were sometimes referred to as "clubs." Wallaces' furnished each boy a quart of high grade seed corn and offered prizes for the best samples grown. These activities, along with continuing agitation in the farm papers and in the schools for more attention to rural young people, were forerunners of youth groups. These activities took place in Iowa and across the country.
