Résumé:

"An analysis of the school textbooks used in the past reveals a truer history of what was taught in the earliest schools than does a study of past educational theories alone. This is particularly true for the early American schools. The teachers in the early days of our country were so meagerly trained and educated that they depended strongly on the textbooks for what to teach and how to teach. Most authorities agree that in the United States the old textbooks in use in any particular school largely constituted the school's course of study. And so an analysis of old American school textbooks reflects the evolution of the American school curriculum and the teaching and learning methods. My study attempts to show only the development of the so-called 'Common School' subjects. The Common School was the term applied to the school first established at various dates in the different states of the Union for all children--the schools now known as the Elementary Schools."--from Chapter 1, page 1.
