Driver Education and Training Manual for High School Teachers, 1940

Summary

This textbook doesn't teach driver education -- it teaches how to teach driver education. It was produced by the American Automobile Association, which had moral and monetary interests in reducing auto accidents. Driver education was a standard part of American high schools from the 1930s through the 1990s, until public school budget and curriculum concerns shifted training to private schools.
