Book excerpt: Excerpt from History Consultation Service, Designed to Aid Teachers in the Public Schools, Vol. 13 Nature and Origin of the Work. History Consultation is a form of consultative or directive work with history teachers in the public schools. It has recently been developed in connection with other public service activities of the Extension Division, and is designed to meet the needs of school systems desiring counsel in the organization of history courses, and in the study of methods and the analysis of the results of history teaching. It includes, in a limited way, the essential features of the school survey. Its aim is to study at first hand the conditions underlying the history instruction in all grades of a school system, to evaluate the work, and to point out needed changes or approve and encourage commendable features. At the conclusion of such a survey, a written report, embodying an estimate of the work in general and offering suggestions for its improvement, is made to the school superintendent. This service is further designed to promote the scientific study of history teaching, both by experimentation under normal conditions and by testing results in a large number of schools. The opportunity presented for studying the problems in a broad way, and for testing by actual classroom practice those theories which underlie approved methods of instruction, easily places such consultation work in the front rank of the forces operating to place history teaching on a more scientific basis.
