Download or read book Builders of Our Country Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Gertrude Van Duyn Southworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Builders of Our Country, Vol. 1 OF the narrative forms of history, the biographical has proved by far the most interesting and serviceable for boys and girls of ten or twelve; and experience tells us that for children of this age events in the lives of men must be told in a way that fixes those events by many striking and vivid pictures of each. In the twenty-five biographies here given, representing the most important builders of our country from the year 1000 to the beginnings of the American Revolution, the hero of each has received attention in proportion to the reach of his influence or of that of the group of which he is the central figure. The order of presentation is very nearly chronological, being otherwise only where there is a greater advantage in grouping locally; and, in returning to any region, the reader is referred to what he has already learned of events on the same soil. Thus, there is no confusion in his mind as to either place or time. It is hoped that the present volume will be found ade quate in every respect for the teaching of the elementary history of the period covered. It may be noted that it conforms minutely to the requirements of the Fifth Grade set down in the new Elementary Syllabus of the Department of Education of the State of New York.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Founders of Our Country History is coming more and more to the place of dignity to which it is entitled in the programs of our elementary schools. The American Historical Associ ation, through its Committee of Eight, published, in 1909, a definite and carefully considered plan for work in eight elementary grades. Founders of Our Coun try is a book for the fourth grade, which carefully follows their program for that year. One of the basic principles which guided the Com mittee of Eight in their plan was thus expressed by them: Fundamental, also, to the interpretation of our program, is the proposition that if we would maintain continued interest through the elementary course, we offer in each of the several years one dis tinct portion or section of our country's history; that we present this fully and finally as far as the history teaching in the elementary schools goes; that we avoid the recurrence in successive years of subject matter that has once been outlined for the elementary pupils. Since certain subjects such as individual explorers, pioneers, and settlers belong to this grade alone, the author has endeavored to make the treat ment of these topics thorough and ample.

Download or read book Our Country Historic and Picturesque Classic Reprint written by Tryon Edwards and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Country, Historic and Picturesque Of all studies, that of History is one of the most interesting and important. It satisfies a natural and laudable curiosity as to what has taken place in the world, and makes some amends for the shortness of life by enabling us to live over, in thought, the days and scenes of the past, and to know, as by a second experience, the life and labors of those who have gone before us. So strong and universal is the desire to know about the times that are gone, as to their persons, events, and progressive changes, that it may almost be called an instinct of the soul. And, as Cicero says, "Not to know what has taken place in former times is to be always a child, for if no use is made of the labors of by-gone ages, the world must always remain in the infancy of knowledge." This is eminently true of the history of our own country, the origin and growth of which have well-nigh the interest of personal experience. As we ponder its pages, we share the life and witness the progress of those who have passed away, while at the same time we are exempt from the dangers and self-denials to which they were subject, and through which they so patiently and faithfully struggled in carrying out the far-reaching plans of Providence, and laying broad and deep the foundations of our National Life.
