Washington history awareness fades among youths and adults
A Washington college survey shows less than half of young adults know Washington's wife or home, citing reduced social studies time due to emphasis on math and reading testing. The college backs a $50,000 prize for top books on Washington, the American Revolution, or early republic, aided by Mount Vernon and the Gilder Lehrman Institute. Polls conducted Feb 7–10 by Schulman, Ronca and Bucavalas and CNN-USA Today-Gallup sampled 800 and 1,008 adults, with margins of error 4 and 3 percentage points respectively.
