Excerpt from A Syllabus for the Study of American History in the High Schools of Iowa: P. E McClenahan, Superintendent of Public Instruction

The Thirty-eighth General Assembly enacted a law providing for specific things with reference to teaching American Citizenship. Section 4 of this law reads as follows:

"The superintendent of public instruction shall distribute to all high schools, academies, and institutions ranking as secondary schools, an outline of a course of study in American history, civics of the state and nation, social problems and economics prepared under his direction."

This syllabus for the study of American history is issued in accordance with this provision of the law, and is provided for free distribution to the teachers and the schools for the purpose of securing more systematic work in the study of American history. It is hoped that every teacher of American history will follow this as a guide, and that in this manner there will be uniform and practical results.

The outline has been prepared by persons who are experts in the field of American history; and, therefore, I believe it is a thoroughly reliable guide. It is expected that teachers and pupils will not only get facts, but will develop the proper spirit characterizing the new America.

It is hoped that this new outline may be the basis for the furnishing of knowledge with reference to our country which will create a deeper love for the United States and make more truly thoughtful American citizens.
