held an important meeting Tuesday,
at which the question of making his
tory a purt of the course of study in
the common soliools of the stale came
np for ilnul action, this mutter hav
ing been discussed at a meeting held
week previous. At the. former
meeting it was practically decided
that history should be lidded to the
course of study, but at this meeting
itn order wus passed making it coin
pulsory on tho various boards of
county school .commissioners toudopt
history and compulsory on students
in the common schools of tim state
to study the Idstoiy prescribed.
The hoard also requires that ull
teachers in the common school* shall
be examined or. history the same us
they are upon other studies of the
common school curriculum before
any are granted license to tcaoii.
In referring to tho action of tho
hoard, Commissioner Brad well said
that the adoption of history’ as part
of the studies in the common schools
meant nn outlay of about $100,000
on the part of the people of the state
who are patrons of l.lie common
schools.
