- Title
Rise and Fall of Geology in Nineteenth Century American Secondary Schools: History and Textbook Reviews.
- Authors
Corgan, James X.; Stearns, Richard G.
- Abstract
Geology was widely taught in American secondary schools during much of the nineteenth century. As geology evolved so did textbooks. As schools and teaching changed so did textbooks. This study examines nineteenth century secondary school geology texts and a crucial government report. It fits these nineteen publications into a general cultural context, tracing the gradual expansion and abrupt decline of geological education in American's nineteenth century secondary schools.
