Katharine Elizabeth Dopp (''first name sometimes misspelt as'' "Katherine", ''and signed her books of fiction as'' "Katharine E. Dopp") (b. 1 March 1863 in Portage County, Wisconsin - d. 14 March 1944 in Chicago, Illinois) was one of the foremost American educators at the turn of the 20th century, and one of the first to advocate the involvement of business in education. She wrote a series of textbooks on anthropology and economics which were widely used in the public schools of Wisconsin, Illinois and Utah, as well as nationally circulated studies on the same subjects, and children's books. ==Early life== Born in Portage County, Wisconsin on 1 March 1863 in a log cabin, she was the daughter of William Dopp, one of the first white settlers in what at the time was a wilderness area. She descended from a long line of New Yorkers, scattered also across Connecticut and upstate New York as well as the Midwest, and who displayed a marked taste for education over the generations.〔There was one Homer Dopp who served for in the Wisconsin State Assembly for one term in 1923 after a teaching career. ((Members of the Wisconsin State Legislature 1848-1999, Wisconsin Blue Book, pg. 639 )). A New England cousin, Raymond Douglas Dopp, was a major name in Connecticut education in the later decades of the 20th century. According to the web site of (Dopp family ), he was also one of the close aides of General James M. Gavin during the Second World War and was one of the first American officers to access the concentration camp in Buchenwald.〕 Her parents, together with several of her uncles, had left their farms in New England to move to Midwest and to settle on the rich plains in the Indian Territory. She grew up in the area known then as "Dopp Neighborhood" and attended the one room "Dopp School" in what is now in the town of Belmont, in Portage County, surrounded by a large family and the experience of her early years in a farm near the wilderness was to mark her for her life.〔(Dopp School, Town of Belmont, Wisconsin, Portage County, Wisconsin )〕
