Abstract:

Papers of Gerald S. Craig, a teacher and author of elementary school science textbooks; including correspondence, memoranda, book manuscripts, notes, articles, speeches, trip itineraries, and biographical notes. The bulk of the correspondence is with teachers, school systems (organized by city and state), co-authors, and editors and others at his publisher, Ginn and Co. There is a small amount of family correspondence describing Craig's trips to Bulgaria and the Soviet Union in 1931. The memoranda focus on exchanges between Craig and his collaborators on five science series for which he served as senior editor. The papers include extensive notes for speeches, class lectures at the Horace Mann School at Columbia and State Teachers College at Troy, Alabama, and for the preparation and promotion of his two most prominent science series, Science Today and Tomorrow and Science for You.
