4. Public Domain Curriculum Content

The literature, poems, hymns, and picture study artworks integrated into Living Term's digital reader are derived from historic Charlotte Mason Parents' Union School (P.U.S.) programmes (1891–1923) and verified U.S. public domain publications (works published in 1928 or earlier).

Living Term makes these unabridged texts accessible in clean, modern typography for educational purposes. We claim no proprietary copyright over the underlying historic source texts.
