  This was written in 1905 and published in 1923. Can I use it in a workbook I am trying to publish? If I need permission, who do I get it from? Is there a place besides here I can get these answers?
  
  Thanks!

  The critical question here, I believe, is whether or not the 1923 publication contained a notice of copyright and, if so, whether or not the copyright was renewed when it initally expired. Unfortunately, it isn't always easy to determine whether copyrights were renewed. I'd begin by going to the Public Domain Chart linked from this site's home page and reading footnote 7 to the chart. The footnote contains links to various resources that might help you determine whether or not the 1923 copyright was renewed.
