Excerpt from The History of North America, Vol. 20: Island Possessions of the United States The practical annihilation of distance, by modern inven tions, simplifies the problem of government for geographic ally distant possessions. The Philippines are more easily administrable, in the matter of distance from Washington, to-day, than was the Oregon country sixty years ago, or Alaska, until within twenty years. Civilization ignores dis tance; the Philippine Islands once in industrial and economic accord with the people of the United States, their people will be, for all purposes of just government, no further from Washington than are the inhabitants of any state now within the Union. The problem is not one of mere distance on the map: it is one of civilization. Because the problem is one of civilization, the present vol ume becomes a contribution to its solution. Prior to any practical experience in dealing with peoples of diverse races. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Albert Edward McKinley was born on September 11, 1870 in Philadelphia. He was the first son and second of five children of Albert Barnes and Margaret (Johnson) McKinley, who were of Scotch-Irish origin. His father was a carpenter by trade.
After graduating from the Central Manual Training School in Philadelphia, young McKinley prepared for college by attending the evening classes of the youthful Temple College (later Temple University). Attracted by the curriculum of the newly organized University of Chicago, he entered that institution and received from it the degree of Ph. B. in 1896. He did his graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania under the direction of John B. McMaster and Herman V. Ames, receiving the degree of Ph. D. in 1900. His doctoral dissertation, enlarged and published in 1905 under the title The Suffrage Franchise in the Thirteen English Colonies, became the standard work on the subject.
McKinley taught at Temple University. He had been appointed dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences at Temple. In 1915, he left to become professor of history at the University of Pennsylvania, a position he retained until his death. By the turn of the century McKinley, influenced by the stirrings in American historiography, had developed a marked interest in research. He engaged in a survey of the public archives of the city and county of Philadelphia in collaboration with Professor Ames. This work, published in volume II of the Annual Report of the American Historical Association for 1901, was part of an elaborate survey sponsored by the Public Archives Commission of the Association. In 1907, after much research, he published Island Possessions of the United States. During the first World War he worked closely with the American Historical Association in its efforts to preserve war records and to promote a true understanding of the causes and ideals of the conflict, serving as secretary of the Pennsylvania War History Commission (1918 - 22). In 1918, he compiled a manual of Collected Materials for a Study of the War. Early in his career McKinley developed an interest in better methods of teaching, including the use of visual aids and especially outline maps. In this endeavor he was influenced by the new movement to improve teaching in the nation's schools. To facilitate the distribution of teaching materials he established in 1900 the McKinley Publishing Company, a pioneer organization in the field. Realizing the need of a professional magazine for teachers, McKinley and a number of colleagues in 1909 began publishing the History Teacher's Magazine, which he edited. This became the Historical Outlook in 1918 and Social Studies in 1934, in which latter year ill health forced him to give up the active editorship. He died of a heart ailment and pneumonia at his home in Germantown and was buried at West Laurel Hill Cemetery, Philadelphia.
McKinley helped to organize the Association of History Teachers of the Middle States and Maryland (later the Middle States Council for the Social Studies) and the National Council for the Social Studies, serving as president of the former organization in 1913-14 and of the latter in 1921. In 1921, too, he was president of the Pennsylvania Federation of Historical Societies. He was the senior author of several widely used textbooks.

On December 29, 1903, McKinley married Jessie S. Willits. They had four children: Albert Edward, Alfred Willits, Margaret, and C. Scott.
