This request just came through from an online survey about educational uses of my web pages that I've attached to the Mark Twain Resources on the WWW page: "I am a K-12 SS [social studies] teacher with Internet access who is assisting students with research on the author. Specifically, historical and biographical data are of interest. Information comparing Finn and Sawyer to historical settings, use of language, and race relations have been requested." I think materials on language and race relations are not freely available for posting on the web, but the requests for biographical and historical information made me think that there might be short biographical sketches and historical articles published in 1920 or earlier that would be in the public domain and could be scanned for posting on the web. Can anyone suggest the best early materials that might be useful for a K-12 audience? Thanks. This survey has been up for about a week and a half and is quite interesting. More people than I expected are using the pages for classroom use or research (including one person who had it as assigned reading and filled out the survey because he was bored : ), and about 15% of responses have come from people using the pages at the K-12 level. If you'd like to see the results, they are online at http://web.syr.edu/~fjzwick/results.html. Jim Zwick
