Book excerpt: Excerpt from English History in American School Text-Books One of my earliest recollections is that of being taken to see the fireworks which were set off at the pierhead in Ramsgate harbor to celebrate the declaration of peace after the Crimean War. From that time until I went, when quite a young man, into the Gallery of Battles in Versailles - a gallery in which the glories of the French armies are celebrated in acres of canvas by the famous French artist Detaille - I never fully realized that Englishmen had ever been defeated by land or sea. I had been brought up in the belief that one Englishman could beat three Johnny Crapauds. But here all my illusions on that score were shattered at one rude blow, for about one picture in. Every three represented a defeat of the English in either a naval or a military engagement. Then I made up my mind with Sir Robert Walpole, that I would study anything but history, for history must be false. Some such awakening has no doubt come to almost every thinking man or woman who has been brought up on the old methods of teaching the history of their country, whether they be English or American, French or German, Turk or Russian - this no doubt has its effect in inspiring a patriotic feeling; in keeping alive a belief in the invincibleness of one's own nation; a faith in its good star, which has led men on to further victories and inspired them to yet more valorous deeds than their forefathers have performed.

This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States for Schools The aim of the authors in writing this book has been to present what seemed to them the main historical developments in American history, the knowledge of which will enable the pupil to understand 'he social, political, and economic institutions which he finds about him in this land wherein he lives. In doing this we have tried to use simple language, to show clearly the relation of one fact to another, and to keep the story constantly moving forward. We have sought to interest not by the selection of the merely entertaining facts which are often the things of least value, but by choice of the facts that have meant something in our growth as a nation. This is first of all a text-book and not a story-book. We make no apology for the omission of many of the yarns of American his tory. If history is worth teaching at all, it is worth teaching as causal, vital, meaning history. We heartily approve of reading his tory for mere pleasure. History is, we believe, in many of its high est literary forms, most delightful and valuable mere reading, but for serious study there are certain essentials which should not be disguised or palliated by facts which are only entertaining, and not essentially significant.

This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New School History of the United States of America Eleven years and more have elapsed since the first publication of this text-book. This period has witnessed a series of grave transactions, and a surprising increase of the population, produci tions, and wealth of the country. It seemed indispensable to extend the narrative to the completion of the century since the surrender of the British at Yorktown assured American Independence. To do this, it was necessary to contract the story throughout, so that the volume might be kept within suitable limits. Matters of secondary importance have been omitted, and greater brevity of statement has been introduced where practicable, particularly in the earlier periods and the War of Secession. There is no longer necessity or propriety in treating the late mournful struggle with the same fulness as before. Moreover, the wondrous perspective of time has already diminished the prominence of many events. And has suffered minor details to melt into the haze of the receding landscape.

This book was released on 2018-12-16 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from United States History for Schools Wars have influenced American history. There was a time when textbooks indicated that the Revolution, the Mexican War, and the Civil War, with a few connecting paragraphs, were about all that were necessary to record. Such treatment now seems ridiculous in the light Of the splendid achievements of peace. In studying the wars themselves the idea of proper perspective must be held firmly in mind. Besides the heroics there must always be remembered the burdens and the awful sorrows Of such struggles, not only Of those on the fields but of those in the homes as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Revolution in Our School d104-Books: An Attempt to Trace the Influence of Early School Education on the Feeling Towards England in the United States Some of these text-books may not have been responsible for the earliest impressions of the pupils on this subject; others which did have such an influence certainly exist, but did not come to my notice. The plan, however, on which this study has been developed, was to accept the replies to inquiries sent out, as a fair reflection of general conditions, and to avoid broadening the investigation. The picture which is thereby revealed of the teaching of American History throughout the country, cannot but be very incomplete, as there are innumerable communities and num'berless text-books, and those which I have examined form but a fraction of the whole. Besides, it is impossible to ascertain how many pupils studied from one particular book, and how many made use of another.

These are intended, in the Questions for first place, to guide the pupil in mastering his lesson, to make him test sd' his understanding of the subject by analyzing and reasoning about his facts, and by associating them with related facts.

The Republic rendered its decision, and then and there entered on a career of advancement unequaled in the history of mankind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Justice to the Nation: American History in American Schools, Colleges, and Universities In our public and private preparatory schools American his tory is not taught, on the average, above five recitations a week, not to exceed thirty minutes a lesson and the total amount of this study averages not over six months in the school life of the child. In some town and city schools it is pursued by a few pupils in the high schools for One year; but this is usually in connection with the so-called general history course. There are no special teachers of American institutions in Amer ican schools below the university, and few universities have such teachers. In the preparatory schools the prevailing method of instruction is as follows The teacher assigns a fixed number of pages in the text-book to be memorized pupils repeat text-book in recitation; they are examined in text-book and the subject is dropped, and usually willingly. This method (sic) prevails in large cities and in crowded schools, and is the sine qua non of every teacher who is compelled to hear lessons which he does not understand. It does not permit the use of different texts, because the teacher is required to get his pupils past a dreaded examination: for if a certain minimum is not passed, the school board employs a new teacher l) to hear the les sons. The result is that thousands pass from these schools with a brief mental encumbrance of names, dates, and events, - mere baggage. In later life it proves its worthlessness and is cast away, and the man knows that the public school did him more harm than good, so far as it tried to teach him American history.
