Their travels also led to long discussions on what would be appropriate for children, and after finishing with Children's Activities instead of retiring they decided to start their own magazine. Certain business endeavors kept them from publishing what they thought was ideal for a children's magazine. Lecturing across the nation, they informed, discovered, and refined what they knew. They had become nationally well known in education and wished to share their knowledge so they began to work for Children's Activities. They taught educators and parents for a time at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, during which Garry Myers wrote a nationally syndicated column entitled Parent Problems, and the couple co-authored several books. This experience led to their pioneering of elementary education. He and Caroline Myers taught illiterate soldiers for the US Army, with Caroline becoming the first female teacher employed by the Army. Garry Myers earned a PhD in psychology from Columbia University before World War I, providing a basis for the teaching he would do the rest of his life. Its location is the former home of the founders of Highlights. The Highlights Foundation, in Pennsylvania, is a public, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization supported by individuals, several publishing companies, and writers' organizations that are committed to improving the quality of children's literature by helping authors and illustrators hone their craft. Highlights, High Five, and Hello magazines do not carry any third-party advertising or commercial messages.
