Extract

The Department of Superintendence and the National Education Association met in Boston the week of Independence Day, 1893. At the Superintendence meeting, Colonel Francis Weyland Parker introduced the motion which established the Committee of Fifteen on Elementary Education. Parker hoped that the Committee of Fifteen would revise the elementary curriculum as the Committee of Ten was revising the high school curriculum.
