and in the Youths Companion. These
were brought out by her publishers in
two volumes of biographical sketches
in 1917. A third followed in 1919 and
a fourth in 1928
AS result of her English classes
and story telling hours for teachers
at the University of Tennessee's Sum-
mer School of the South" she became
acutely aware that material available
was factual rather than dramatic or
appealing to children. She then set
about writing a series of biographies
for junior and senior high school stu
dents which concentrated upon what
each life stood for in its contribution
to its era or to mankind in general.
This series was called High Adven-
lures" Its popularity was immediate,
as was its adoption for general use in
the high schools of the District Of
Columbia and elsewhere.
These biographies we're followed by
series of fourth. fifth and sixth grade
readers, written in cooperation with
Miss Alberta Walker, an associate
teacher in the Wilson Normal School
and in the Wilson Teachers College
after the normal school was elevated
to college rank Adapted to the study
habits of children at different levels
and skills of silent reading. they were
the first textbooks in educational his
tory to be devoted to the technique of
silent reading. Their use has become
almost universal in the school systems
of the United States.
In cooperation with Miss Edith E.
Shepherd. head of the English depart
ment of the Chicago University High
School, Miss Parkman subsequently
edited series of textbooks entitled
"Guldebooks to Language and Lam
guage Ways Miss Parkman wrote
the volumes for grades three to six
and Miss Shepherd those from the
sixth through the Junior high school
classes. These are not only in use in
Our own school system and in many
others, but have had Statewide adop-
tionS in the public school systems of
Indiana, Georgia and Florida.
New England Heritage.
Miss Parkman's heritage is a New
England one She is the daughter of
the late Charlotte Spalding of Con-
necticut and of Charles Breck Park

Who was for many years an employe
OF the United States Treasury Depart
ment During his student days at a
New Haven preparatory school Miss
Parkmans father achieved national
fame by multiplying 40 numbers by
40 numbers without recourse to pad
or pencil, numerical feat which had
never before been accomplished.

Whitney, her friend of the years as

One of the greatest satisfactions of
Miss Parkmans long teaching career.
from which she retired this past Feb
ruary. is that SO many of her former
pupils are also specializing in the
teaching of English in our junior and
senior high schools. She is also proud
of the fact that she has guided still
others along productive lines as au-
thors of short stories and of collateral
reading courses, similar to her own,
which are being used in our own and
other school systems.
