Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Discussion of American History Prepared for Use in the Elementary Schools The Topical Discussion of American History prepared by Superintendent Doub is thoroughly in harmony with the spirit of the times. It is a product of the general feeling among progressive educators that history should cease to be a mere exercise in memory gymnastics, and become a genuine study of human life and experience. In the grammar school, as well as in the high school or the university, history should be so presented that man is ever seen to be its real object. It should never for a single moment be lost sight of, that, while the right study of history affords a training for the reason and the judgment scarcely rivaled by that gained from any other source, yet its chief subject-matter is man in his political and other social relations. It is the things which are really important in human progress, in the struggle for existence, that one wishes to know. Lists of dates, and genealogical tables of royal or noble personages, are not so helpful to the youth preparing himself for citizenship as a knowledge of the institutions of his country and state, or even of his county, village, or school district. The conviction is deepening, that history cannot be best taught through the use of one book. The element of comparison is the vital principle of right historical study. Even the best single text-book is not so good as topical reading in several works. Already this is conceded to be true for the high school; and surely, within proper limits, it is just as true for the lower grades.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States During recent years there has been much written and much said about making the study of history and civics in the ele mentary schools something more than committing to memory dates, facts and events. Many newspapers and educational journals and many of those educators Who talk publicly on school questions have criticised severely the results secured from the time devoted to history and civics in the grammar schools. The method used and the lack of proper preparation on the part of the teacher have been held responsible for the poor results secured in these subjects. It has been customary to hold the teacher responsible for the method used and for her poor preparation, and thus to place the entire blame on her. Many have promptly and justly replied that they cannot be expected to expend from two to three thousand dollars in securing a higher education for the purpose of receiving the small salaries paid in the elementary schools. They have also replied - and this is even more to the point - that not being specialists in history and civics, they cannot, With any degree of success, teach these subjects by the topical method When every grammar school history text-book in print adopts, almost entirely, the cut and-dried chronological-event method. In relation to all these conditions, special attention is called to the fact that in this book the topical treatment is used Without any reserve What ever. No teacher can use this book as a text-book and use any other than the topical method, and no pupil can study this book without becoming interested in the real spirit of our history and having cultivated in him the desire to perform to the best of his ability the duties of American citizenship.

This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of History in Elementary Schools To-day the attention of everyone is fixed on the history that is being made from hour to hour. Our grasp of the ideals which we have formed in the past is being put to the test, and the course of the future is being determined. Patriotism is not a matter of discussion, but of action. The connection between the lessons which the citizens of Great Britain have learned from their knowledge of her history and the significance which they attach to the present momentous struggle is so close that we hope to -be pardoned for publishing a book on the teaching of history even at such a time. It is true that, in the midst of such events, it is hard to view the past in its proper perspective and not to regard the whole course of his tory from the standpoint of the present issues. The book, however, was in the main written before the war, when it was possible to look back on the past and for ward into the future with less emotion and more cold blooded judgment. What emboldens us to publish it now is that, reading our manuscript again in these days when interpretations of history are being tested in the fire, we see nothing to withdraw and little to alter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Lessons in American History The author of this book has endeavored to meet the demand for a simple history of America, suitable for children of ten to twelve years of age, many of whom study no other text on the subject. In order to present a book of the most value the narrative treats of men who influence has been controlling in the destiny of the nation, but does not make of the their lives a series of hero stories. The facts of their lives and incidents of their careers are presented in sufficient fullness to reveal their personal traits and aid a pupil to understand their contributions to the current of events. The facts that are presented in the text are those which appear most important for child to know. It is sincerely hoped that the style of the narrative is simple enough for pupils of the fourth or fifth grade to read with ease and attractive enough for them to read with pleasure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States for Beginners: For Use in Elementary Schools This book was prepared especially for the use of children in the intermediate grades of school. However, it is, the author believes, also well adapted to use by the young as home reading. The text gives, in connected discourse, a sequential view of the leading events of the history of the United States, for which the learner is prepared by a series of easy lessons in civil government. It makes plain many causes of events that greatly interest the learner. A consideration of these gives to the mind of the child added interest in events and broadens his outlook on historical movements. The sequential presentation claimed for the book allows or compels a use of English idiom, a study of which, in connection with the effort of the child when reproducing or reciting, may be made to serve as valuable training in the use of language. The text is intended to be suggestive in recitation of much profitable work in place geography and work, also for securing a correct view of the logic of culture geography.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hazen's Elementary History of the United States: A Story and a Lesson History, then, cannot be separated from biography, nor can the biographies of great leaders in any national movement be properly told apart from the history of their times. To weave together history and biography, so as to form an interest ing and connected story of our nation's life, is the purpose of the author in preparing this work. He hopes that he has so arranged the parts, so interestingly and connectedly told the story, and so clearly brought out the important events on which the life, growth, and prosperity of our nation depended, that the student will gain both pleasure and profit from these books, and will be led to read the larger and more complete histories in search of greater knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Republic and Its Government: An Analysis of the Government of the United States With a view to this larger study of American politics, and as leading up to it, it seems to me necessary to recog nize that between the field for the elementary text-books in Civics and that of the advanced classes in the universi ties that call for special and extensive study in works like that of Mr. Bryce, there is an intermediate field. My effort has been to fill this gap, to provide an intermediate book for advanced courses ln-high schools or for elemen tary courses in the colleges. It is believed that in this field of Civics there are classes of students well prepared for more advanced work than is ordinarily pursued in high schools, whose interest will be more easily and effectively aroused and sustained by a somewhat elaborate discussion of the more important subjects in the study of the American Government and its principles. For this purpose it seems better to present more extensive treatment of fewer subjects than to reconsider the great variety of miscellaneous topics usually contained in the books on elementary Civics.
