Abstract: There is a widespread feeling among the elementary grade teachers that something more definite should be done about the teaching of North Carolina history in the Upper Elementary Grades. For years the State Course of Study scheduled the study of North Carolina history for one-half year during the fifth grade. American history was to be taught the other half of the year. This was too much for one year's work for children of this age. The program was too crowded. The children were rushed through two text books within a period of eight months in the rural schools. As a result, their knowledge of neither was very thorough. In some schools North Carolina history was taught in the sixth grade. In 1942 the State Department of Public Instruction issued a Suggested Twelve Year Program for the North Carolina Public Schools. The study of North Carolina history was then changed to the eighth grade.
