Excerpt from The Study of History in Schools: Report to the American Historical Association by the Committee of Seven An investigation of the subject of history, as it is studied and taught in the secondary schools, presents many difficulties. Even before the com mittee began seriously to consider what work was to be done, it became apparent that only a thorough study would be profitable, that general conclusions or recommendations, even on such a question as that of college entrance requirements, could not be made without an examination 'of the whole field and a consideration of many fundamental princi ples, or without ascertaining what was now domg in the high schools and academies of the country.
