Abstract

Historians will soon confront another centennial as the United States nears 1998. The Spanish-American War Centennial will not receive the same adulation as the Civil War Centennial or the American Bicentennial. However, the Spanish-American War was a turning point in American history and its anniversary provides high school and college teachers the opportunity to look at numerous topics which moved America closer to being a world power. The history and social science faculty at Emporia State is conducting a "Teachers Weekend Workshop" for secondary teachers on Saturday and Sunday, September 27-28, in Emporia, and a one day session on the following Saturday, October 4, in nearby Iola, the home of General Frederick Funston. The workshop is being designed to prepare them to use the interest invoked by the centennial during 1998 in their teaching. 1
