Holidays are times to look back and reflect on all that is good in the world.  In between reading holiday cards, try sifting through old education news and journals.  You’ll be sure to find some hidden gems–like this article about a teacher suspended for giving birth–or like these seven ads from a 19th century teaching journal out of Boston.  Enjoy!
