Excerpt from Civic Education in Elementary Schools As: Illustrated in Indianapolis Indianapolis was one of the first cities to introduce in its elementary schools what is now commonly known as community civics. So far as known, Chicago is the only city that antedates Indianapolis in efforts in this direction. Mr. H. W. Thurston, then of the Chicago Normal School, developed a syllabus in elementary civics which laid especial emphasis upon the civic life of Chicago, a few years before the Indianapolis plan was inaugurated. Both Indianapolis and Chi cago now make of community civics a prominent feature of the ele mentary school work, though in somewhat different ways. Other cities have, in the last few years, introduced instruction more or less similar in character. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book examines the development of civic education in the United States through the lives of two teachers at Shortridge High School (SHS) in Indianapolis around 1900. After situating civic education at the turn-of-the-century, the book describes the career of Laura Donnan—her influences, teaching, extracurriculars, and civic life—through the lens of her unique epistemology, shaped by negotiating the gendered ideologies of her era. Then, the book re-examines Arthur W. Dunn’s career, focusing on his ten years at SHS, and the influence of Donnan on his popular community civics curriculum and subsequently the 1916 report “The Social Studies in Secondary Education.” Previous scholars have overlooked Dunn’s time at SHS, viewing it simply as a stepping stone for the progressive educator’s career. This book argues that Dunn’s time at SHS was pivotal to his career due to influential colleagues, primarily Donnan. To conclude, Clark discusses the implications of Donnan’s epistemology in shaping civic education in the United States.
