    A few years ago, I interviewed a married couple for an article, who, although only in their mid-20s, already owned a thriving business.

    Middle School Reading Lists 100 Years Ago vs. Today5

    I recently dug up a 1908 curriculum manual in the Minnesota Historical Society archives. It provided instructions on everything from teacher deportment to recommended literature lists for various grades.
