ABSTRACT
Joe, with candid insight, had singled out one of the most critical problems in the study and nature of history – historical interpretation and the tenuous position of the historical fact. Although the teacher was trying to solicit the “textbook” answer, Joe had actually given the teacher a more accurate answer than either realized. The answer was one which the teacher was totally unprepared to appreciate or accept, for he had learned history as a body of truth not to be questioned, criticized, or modified.
