Publisher's Synopsis
Katharine Elizabeth Dopp (1863-1944) was one of the foremost American educators at the turn of the 20th century, and one of the first to advocate the involvement of business in education. She wrote a series of textbooks on anthropology and economics which were widely used in the public schools of Wisconsin, Illinois and Utah, as well as nationally circulated studies on the same subjects, and children's books. She was a public school teacher at first and a university professor later. She taught in universities in Wisconsin, Utah and Illinois. Ultimately, she became the Dean of the Chicago Normal School, a teacher's college that later became part of the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her works include: The Tree-Dwellers (1904), The Early Cave-Men (1904), The Later Cave-Men (1906), The Early Sea People (1912), The Early Herdsmen (1923) and The Early Farmers (1929).
