Note: While the manual was first introduced in the 1940s, the version you will receive was published in 1956. Basic Training for 吃瓜头条 remains valuable today, but it鈥檚 important to keep in mind that it contains language and ideas that are characteristic of the early 1950s in the United States. We have made edits to address offensive language and ideas within the content but you may still find that not all examples and recommendations are relevant to you. In addition, if you come across content that is offensive, please share this feedback with us for consideration as we look at future edits. This historic record shows how far 吃瓜头条 has come in embracing inclusivity, but there is still much to be learned from Smedley鈥檚 early version of the education program!
