"Educational Extension in the United States"

 File — Container: 34

Scope and Contents note

From the Series:

This series contains manuscript and typescript drafts of published and unpublished works as well as reprints of articles, arranged alphabetically. Adams's best known monographs were on the origin of New England towns and their institutions. He intended to expand this into one comprehensive volume which would cover New England from its earliest settlement through the expansion of its towns and the development of its institutions. A manuscript outline, table of contents and some chapters of this work are in the series.

Other writings of note are a partial typescript draft of The Life of Jared Sparks, a chapter entitled "A General View of Europe in the Nineteenth Century" from an unnamed, unfinished work, and an outline of proposed writings. In 1897 Adams drafted a study on types of University Extension programs with chapters on various institutes such as those run by churches, the YMCA and social settlements. This was probably done for the U.S. Bureau of Education study. See Series 6. A complete list of the writings is in the container list.
