Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American History and Civics An accurate knowledge of the chronology of important facts and events will be considered essential; but by chronology we do not mean dates, except in a few specified cases: we mean sequence - the order of events, so to speak - and the historic period to which the events belong. To facilitate this chronology the General Outline has been divided into periods, each representing some definite era in the development of the nation. In addition to the General Outline, a number of specific items, under the head, Items of General Intelligence, are presented. These represent a minimum summary of miscellaneous facts of common knowledge in American history. They are the every-day used facts, and are couse quently of prime importance. The student should possess a knowledge of all these facts to the extent indicated. The story of territorial growth and the expansion of settlement is a narrative of inspiring and patriotic interest that every teacher and every citizen should know. The mere elements of this story are included in the General Outline; but to facilitate its study as a distinct phase of our history, a separate outline is given. For entrance to the Normal School, no minute and judicial knowledge of the subject will be required. What we want is a possession of the simple facts of territorial acquisition and growth, coupled with the ability to tell the dramatic, soul-stirring, supremely human epic of the people in their surging westward march.

This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Examination Book in American History and Civics, Vol. 1 The following set of questions and answers in United States History and Civics has been compiled from the New York Regent's examinations given during the past fourteen years. These questions and answers were originally printed in American Education and were found exceedingly helpful to teachers. In response to a general demand they have been carefully rearranged and edited and are now presented to the public in booklet form. The dates and statements of facts given have been verified and they are believed to be practically free from error. The chronological order has been in the main followed. Some of the questions that call for a comparison of facts and events do not follow the order of time. As the questions have been taken from many different examinations, it has been found impossible to avoid a repetition of ideas, but no two questions of exactly the same import are given. All teachers of Elementary United States History will find this booklet an invaluable aid for rapid review work and for acquainting their pupils with the kind of questions and answers that are used in these and similar examinations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American History and Government: A d104-Book on the History and Civil Government of the United States It is safe to say that a very large proportion of our pupils leave school without becoming sufficiently familiar with our system of government. The curriculum of the high school is crowded. New subjects are constantly being introduced for one reason or another, and this tends to the undue crowding of the course of study and to bringing into the high school many subjects that properly belong to the college. The result is that time is not allowed for the thorough drilling and for the supplementary reading on those subjects in which some solid elementary knowledge should be expected of all the pupils in our public schools.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foundations of American Civilization: An Elementary History With Civics for 7a Many hundreds Of centuries ago, the first men came into existence. They had no homes, such as we have today, but were forced to seek shelter in the hollow trunks Of trees, in branches, or in caves. For food they were dependent on the wild animals they could kill, on the roots and berries that grew around them, or on fish in the streams near the place where they dwelt. They had no clothes, except perhaps the skins Of wild animals, and they led a very simple and primitive life. In fact, these first men were little better than the animals living around them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Advanced Civics: The Spirit, the Form, and the Functions of the American Government This text is based on my Advanced Civics, but the changes that have been made are so many and so far-reaching that it has been thought best to give the new book a new name. The essential principles of our government are presented first. The student begins by learning of big things, of democracy, representative government, the separation of powers, constitutions, the federal system, local self-govern ment, civil liberty. These are the foundation stones of the Republic, and to present these great themes first is simply to lay the foundation aright.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Young American: A Civic Reader The interest of the day is not that of mere study, of sound scholarship as an end, of good books for their own sake, but of education as a power in human affairs; of educated men as an influence in the commonwealth. "Tell me," said an American scholar of Goethe, the many-sided, "what did he ever do for the cause of man?" The scholar, the poet, the philosopher, are men among other men. From these unavoidable social relations spring opportunities and duties. How do they use them? How do they discharge them? Does the scholar show in his daily walk that he has studied the wisdom of ages in vain? Does the poet sing of angelic purity and lead an unclean life? Does the philosopher peer into other worlds, and fail to help this world upon its way? Four years before our Civil War, the same scholar - it was Theodore Parker - said sadly: "If our educated men had done their duty, we should not now be in the ghastly condition we bewail." - George William Curtis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New American History and Government Outlines History is the study of the life of a people. "History is the biography of a society." "History is the essence of innumerable biographies." "Through the ages one increasing purpose runs." "The present is the fruit of the past and the germs of the future." "History knows not if, and might have been is a form of words unwritten in her book of phrases." - Ridpath. Europe Before the Discovery of America Peoples supposed to have visited America before 1492: Chinese, Egyptians. Phoenicians and Greeks. Northmen, 1000. Events hindering further visits: Invasions of Goths, Vandals and Huns, 350 to 476. Establishment of new nations. Conquest among nations. Lack of geographical knowledge. Causes leading to a revival of interest in new lands: Commercial ambition. Religious zeal. The crusades. The renaissance. What ancient Europe sent to the East: Metals, wood, pitch, woolen cloth, linen, black lead, wine and glassware. What ancient Europe brought from the East: Silks, cotton cloth and other fine dry goods. Dye woods and drugs. Precious stones and ivory. Spices and perfumes. Cities which controlled trade with the East: Venice, by way of the Mediterranean, the Red Sea and the Indian ocean. Genoa, by way of Bosporus and Black Sea, and then by caravan to the East. Antioch, by way of Euphrates valley and Persian gulf. What changed trade routes: In 1453 the Turks captured Constantinople and refused to let the ships of other nations pass through the Bosporus. This closed Genoa's route, gave Venice a monopoly and made a new route desirable. New routes tried: Passage around Africa by Diaz, a Portuguese sailor, who succeeded in sailing around the south cape, which he named Cape of Storms, but the name was changed to Cape of Good Hope by King John of Portugal. Columbus' plan: To sail west until he reached China or India. "The great canon of history is its continuity."
