The Wacker Manual

November 11, 2009

Wacker's Manual of the Plan of Chicago: Municipal Economy, written in 1911, taught the city's eighth grade students about the 1909 Plan of Chicago. Jean Linsner shares highlights from this text book, and offers a glimpse at how today's students and teachers take up the challenges set forth in the Manual.

Jean Linsner is the Vice President of Youth Education at the Chicago Architecture Foundation.
