Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supervised Study in American History This investigation proved to me the necessity of endeavoring to teach these children how to study. I therefore determined to try an experiment. All notebooks and outlines, upon which much time and effort had been spent, were packed away, and we began to study together. We made many mistakes, but in spite of this fact the pupils found a new inspiration and enjoyment in studying history. I wish to pay a special tribute to the first Eight A class of boys and girls who did so much to encourage me to make a greater effort for their sakes. Our first semester spent in attempting to learn how to study was one of the happiest experiences during many years of teaching.
