I have had an inquiry (on EH.Net's ASK THE PROF service) from an educational researcher asking two questions: 1) Does anyone know when economics was first introduced into the school curriculum (K-12, not university) in the United States? NOTE: My conversation with the researcher suggested that this question was not limited to mid- to late- twentieth century (successful) efforts to incorporate a course in economics to the high school curriculum in many states. 2) What textbooks or readings might have been used in K-12 courses? NOTE: Again, conversation with the researcher indicates that this question could be extended to include economics readings assigned in a civics course, etc., not just what economics texts were assigned in the newly created economics courses. Help identifying resources which would assist with the answers to these questions would be appreciated. Ross Emmett
