SAN FRANCISCO GROUP.
A group of about fifty history teachers, representing the grades, the high school, and the university, and living in the vicinity of San Francisco, have formed the habit of gathering informally at luncheon from time to time, to meet socially and to discuss questions of professional interest. At the last meeting. September 18, the topic was “The Practical Value of History.” Prof. J. N. Powman opened with a stimulating essay, and was followed by a general discussion.
These meetings are useful in enabling history teachers of various grades to learn what each other man is doing, and to discover common aims. It is planned to continue them at intervals of about three months.
