This description of the plan of civic education in the Indianapolis elementary schools has been prepared because of a growing, general interest in the subject, and because of the numerous inquiries as to existing methods of organized elementary civic training. The Indianapolis teachers and school authorities would be the last to claim that they have spoken the final word on the subject. Indeed, one of the characteristics of the Indianapolis course of study is its constant readjustment to immediate needs in light of current experience. Even as this is being written, the course of study in arithmetic is being revised, largely from the point of view of its civic relations. The civic aspect of education permeates the entire work of the elementary schools in this city, and it is believed that a description of how one community handles the problem may prove suggestive to others. Community civics was first introduced in the elementary schools of Indianapolis in the second half of the eighth grade. With the success of this experiment assured, attention was turned to the practicability of extending systematic civic training into the lower grades. The result is a course of study in which the civic aspects of the child's education are emphasized throughout the elementary schools, from the first grade through the eighth. An outline of this course of study, so far as it relates directly to civic education is provided herein. [Best copy available has been provided.].

Excerpt from Civic Education in Elementary Schools As: Illustrated in Indianapolis Sir: From the inception of the tax-supported public school systems in the United States, one of their most important functions has been to give the instruction and training necessary for the intelligent performance of the duties of citizenship. Indeed, this work of preparation for citizenship has been and is still one of the strongest arguments for making education a function of the State and in justification of the levying of taxes for the support of schools. As the government and industrial and social life become more democratic, the importance of this function of the schools becomes more evident and necessary and the means of giving the necessary instruction and training becomes keener and more general. For several years the public schools of the city of Indianapolis have had a reputation for unusually good work in this direction. Since example adds much to the effectiveness of theory, and may be even more useful in results, I requested Mr. Arthur W. Dunn, the bureau's specialist in civic education, to make a careful study of this work in these schools for the purpose of making a concise report of its more important features. This Mr. Dunn was the better able to do because of the fact that he was at one time connected with the schools of Indianapolis as director of instruction and training in civics. The manuscript transmitted herewith is the result of this study. I recommend that it be published as a bulletin of the Bureau of Education. Respectfully submitted.

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.
