Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Historical Sketch of the Wisconsin Teachers Association in Its First Half Century, 1853-1903 In the year 1876, in the midst of the Centennial glow, the writer hereof was deputed to collate a historical sketch of the Wisconsin Teachers´ Association, then approaching the close of its first quarter-century. This assignment resulted in the preparation of a paper, which was read at the 25th Annual Meeting of the Association, at Green Bay, in 1877. That paper was afterwards expanded into a pamphlet which was published by the Association in 1878. For its data concerning the earlier years of the organization, it was greatly indebted to an earlier sketch, written by Joeiah L. Pickard in 1860, and also to personal recollections of Dr. Pickard, John G. McMynn, and others, which were gathered from them by correspondence and interviews. The official records of the Association, moreover, furnished indispensable and reliable material. As the fiftieth year of the Association found me still in the ranks, I was again drafted into service, and set to write a review of its work through two quarters of a century for the "Jubilee Session," in Milwaukee, December 29th, 1902. This, as in the former instance, engendered a request that the paper be expanded for publication. The result is here presented, with much misgiving as to its adequacy. The original sketch, of 1878 has been freely used, much of its matter having been transferred bodily, while other parts have been recast to suit the wider undertaking. This was the more permissible since the original pamphlet is now rare and almost forgotten, as this may be a few years hence. At the same time, the paper presented at the Jubilee Session has been freely modified, both by addition and omission, to suit the new purpose.
