Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline Guide to American History by the Source and Library Method The problems before us today are the legacy of those who have preceded us, - the results of their successes or failures. This makes history a living science, no longer to be regarded as a mere culture study, dependent upon the 'memory alone. Today the genuine study of history demands the exercise of all the mental faculties in determining motives, com paring situations and drawing conclusions. This can not be done by reading one meager text book. Dif ferent authors must be read to get different points of view. Better still is the present tendency to send the pupil directly to the original source, whether it be a newspaper clipping, a speech, a diary account, a letter or a government record. How much more meaning the Compromise of 1850 has when one reads the speeches and debates of that time! The original sources are constantly being made more available to the student. Every teacher should own, and may the time soon come when every pupil may own, the sheldon-barnes American history, or some similar collection. The following Outline Guide is putin print for the Convenience of the Iowa State Normal students, but may possibly be useful to others. It is not intended that any one student shall use all the references given, but different students using different books will bring a variety of opinions to the class, whichmust be discussed and accounted for. Six or eight good texts have been cited throughout, and such other books as have been found most helpful. A list of the books referred to with the publishers' names is given for the use of any who may be selecting libraries for school or private use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline of Early American History With each text assignment there are citations of certain numbers in Professor A. B. Hart's American History Told by Contemporaries (n. Y. 1897 et a work intended to make broad the highways for those who would visit their forefathers. Professor Hart performed a valuable serv ive to the teaching of history in popularizing the use of primary sources, and his reflections upon their place in a general course are fully set forth in his Preface and his Practical Introduction, Vol. I, chaps. I and ii, which are to be read in connection with Section I. In our directions as to the preparation of an historical essay, printed later in this pamphlet, will be found certain remarks on the use of sources in scholarly writing. Side by side with the references to the text and source-book, which must be read, there will be found notations of more detailed narratives and discussions which are recommended as collateral reading. Some One of these books mentioned in each section should be available in the near est public library, and he who hopes here to derive a benefit comparable with that of a first-rate college course must seek them out. On the other hand, it is feasible for those who lack this opportunity to carry on this home study somewhat less extensively and less valuably without them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline of United States History The old method of teaching history by as signing a certain number of pages in the text book to be memorized, is, we are glad to be able to say, pretty generally a thing of the past, having been discarded by all progressive educators. The topical method has found favor because it is the method which devel ops the student's individuality, and makes it possible for him to compare the views of differ ent authors, thus doing away with the diffi culty some teachers experience from diversity of text books. It is the best because it teaches the pupil to think and compare as well as to remember facts. When carried to its full de velopment the topical method becomes the outline method, which combines with the ads vantages possessed by the topical method many which it does not possess.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American History: Outlines and Notes; A Preference Manual for Teachers and Pupils Of the making of books there is no end. What is needed is A5 not more books, but better books. This statement is as true with regard to text-books as along other lines of literary effort. Before a new vessel is launched even though it be but a steam tug, 'a demand for its existence should be felt. Before launching this little bark upon the untried sea of popular favor, we inquire, Is-it needed? Will it supply a long-felt demand? Is this demand sufficiently pressing to warrant the time and expense required to launch this little bark? From the standpoint of a field educational worker, I do not hesitate to say, after years of observation, that a complete series of outlines to guide in the study of United States History, pointing out the hand of Providence in the discovery, exploration, and colonization of America at just the time and in just the manner prescribed by the Ruler of nations, is greatly needed by our teachers everywhere as an aid in their earnest endeavor to impress upon the mind of the student the eternal principle, The most High ruleth in the kingdom of men and giveth it to whomsoever He will.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Methods and Outlines in United States History Now why should we study history at all? First, it possesses the greatest guidance value among the several branches. There is much truth in the old saying, History repeats itself, and that ages differ more in kind than in degree. Where one age develops a fact of civilization in a certain way, or works out an advanced position for man, it will do it much the same way another time. There are certain inevitable truths controlling the ages, and when an age repeats itself, the corre sponding truth will be found leading its move ments. The things that killed Greece would kill America; the force that united the world under Rome, would unite the world again. The ele ments that destroyed Rome, would destroy any empire in any age. A late profound scholar and historian has said The present is the fruit Of the past, and the germ of the future. NO work can stand unless it grows out Of the real wants Of the age and strikes firm root in the soil Of history. No one who tramples on the rights Of a past gen cration can claim the regard of its posterity History will disregard him who disregards her. Set at naught the lessons Of history, and no man shall wield any lasting influence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Students Outline for the History of the United States written by Arthur D. Cromwell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Students Outline for the History of the United States This outline has its origin in the demands of the author's own classes, the growing interest in the better teaching of history, the many requests from teachers for a work that will enable them to carry on the source or library method without a larger expenditure of time in preparation than they are able to give, and in the need of a work to enable academies, high schools, and normal schools to meet the requirements of the conference of American Colleges which recommended as the minimum of American History for college entrance: "At least one year's work by the library method with one or more topics by the source method." It is believed that this outline meets, to a fuller degree than any other work now published, the recommendations of the Committee of Ten which say: "The course that best prepares for college entrance is the course that best prepares for actual life, "That the method of study by topics be strongly recommended as tending to stimulate pupils and to encourage independence of judgment. "That in all practical ways an effort should be made to teach the pupils in the latter years to discriminate between the authorities, especially between original sources and secondary writers. "That no formal instruction in political economy be given in the secondary schools but that, in connection particularly with United States history, instruction be given in economic topics. "That the teaching of history should be intimately connected with the teaching of English; first, by using historical works or extracts for reading; second, by writing English compositions from subjects drawn from the historical lessons." In addition to meeting these requirements, this outline removes some of the strongest objections to the outline method. First, by giving abundant references to both sources and secondary writers, the objection that pupils lose too much time in aimless hunting, is taken away. Second, by calling for connective narratives or biographies, at the close of the various periods of our history, the strongest objection that the topical method leaves the information in a disconnected, unorganized state, in the pupil's mind, is entirely removed and the pupil is left much stronger in ability to analyze and to synthesize than he would have been if he had used a narrative text only, for in the narrative text, another has both analyzed and generalized for him. The objection that it consumes too much time comes from a false conception of what constitutes history, and what is the real aim of history study. The idea that it is a narrative, leads to the idea that so much of it must be committed by each student each term regardless of growth in power to judge of historic events. But if the aim be power to judge wisely, to know, to feel, and to do right, then the teacher will be willing to assign fewer topics if by so doing a deeper insight into each may be gained. But in the end time is saved. Time is always saved by presenting our subjects in accordance with the laws of the human mind. Like a wise gardener, who prepares his soil before he plants his seed, an outline prepares the pupil's mind before it presents facts. When a pupil has read a topic or a question from his outline, and then goes to look it up, he goes for a purpose; and when the information is found it gives pleasure because there was desire, and it is more easily remembered because the mind was prepared to receive it. There is little in this outline that is original. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com
