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.

University of Florida historian and retired professor Sam Proctor is shown at Anderson Hall in the heart of the historic part of campus. "Virtually every plaque on every monument at the University of Florida was written by Sam Proctor," said former UF College of Journalism and Communications Dean Ralph Lowenstein. long and distinguished chapter in the history of the University of Florida and the state of Florida closed at 3:29 Sunday morning with the death of the school's official historian and the dean of state history, Samuel Proctor. The distinguished service professor emeritus of history died at his Gainesville home after a long illness. He was 86. For almost two years Proctor had been battling a mysterious virus he contracted in late summer 2003. He rallied often in the fight, demonstrating how "tenacious he was in his love of life," his longtime friend and former U.S. Sen. Bob Graham said Sunday upon learning of Proctor's death. Proctor leaves a legacy at UF that extends beyond the historic districts and buildings on campus that he helped identify and preserve.

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.

As a new school year begins, and on the eve of the second anniversary of 9/11 what are America’s students learning about our democratic values and institutions, our struggles to overcome inequality, our remarkable capacity for self-correction Can they explain the basic distinctions between a country premised on individual liberty, representative government and free expression and systems that silence and oppress their people and despise the democratic ideal? Sandra Feldman, president of the American Federation of Teachers, urged broad support and dissemination for the statement, Education for Democracy, released today by the Albert Shanker Institute, a nonpartisan public policy organization established by the AFT. “We are arguing for an education that tells our students the truth about the democratic struggle – warts and all. We want knowledgeable students who will end up committed to a system that acknowledges weaknesses and tries to fix them, while valuing democracy and wanting to extend it,” she said.

79. 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

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.
