Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginner's History of Our Country In the first place, unlike some primary histories in com mon use, this is not an abridgment of a larger history. To attempt, within the narrow limits of a primary text book, to present all Of'the events of our national life that are commonly considered important from the adult's standpoint, would be to reduce the narrative to little more than a catalogue of names and dates. Moreover, some subjects embraced in our country's history are absolutely beyond the comprehension of an immature mind. To require the young pupil to memorize statements upon such subjects is nothing short of a pedagogical crime.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Makers of American History: A Beginner's Book in the History of Our Country This little book is an effort to sketch the lives of some of the makers of American history in such a way as to present the strong points of their characters, and at the same time to narrate the main events in our history. It is believed that the book has a place in the schools in that it may be used in at least three different ways: as a primary history, as a supplement to a more formal school history, and as a supplementary reader. (1) As a primary history. It is universally conceded that the proper way to teach history to children is by means of biography, and for this purpose the book has been written. Children in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades of school should be given elementary work in United States history, and in our belief this book is adapted to these grades. In order that it may serve as a primary history, geography and review questions have been added at the end of each chapter. (2) As a supplement to a school history. Many of our best text-books, in narrating the chief events of United States history, for want of space do not give much biography or many incidents in the lives of the principal participants in our history. In connection with such books this volume may easily be used, and thus the teacher can bring vividly before the pupil's mind the makers, as well as the facts, of our history. (3) As a supplementary reader. The majority of the readers user! in our schools are prepared as introductory books to the study of literature, and therefore contain chiefly selections from the best authors. Such readers should be supplemented in every grade by some historical matter, with a view to keeping before the children the greatness and importance of our country among the nations of the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Country's Story: An Elementary History of the United States This book aims not at telling stories about the United States, but at giving a short, simple, connected account of our country from its discovery to the present day. Mindful of the pleasure that children take in knowing "why," and of their unfailing interest in biography, I have tried, as far as the limits of the book would permit, to note reasons as well as deeds; and, while avoiding everything of the nature of a biographical sketch, I have sought to arouse and encourage a feeling of friendly familiarity with the heroes of our nation. Though an introductory history must necessarily be limited in size, it is believed that there can be gained from this volume a definite knowledge of the main events in the history of our land, some idea of the causes of those events, and an acquaintance, sympathetic though slight, with the men who stood behind the events; and that the book will thus serve as an introduction to a later and more extended study of the growth and development of our country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Our Country: A d104-Book for Schools This "History of Our Country" has been prepared in the belief that there is need of a text-book on the history of the United States which would present fairly and impartially all sections of the Union. The authors have endeavored to divest the narrative of all bias for or against the North or the South, the East or the West. The strife for sectional or partisan supremacy has often transcended the bounds of true patriotism, but it is believed that such strife has been inevitable, and that in the long run it has made our country stronger and richer in the nobler elements of national life. Love of country is greater than the love of party, and loyalty to the state is a permanent and indestructible element in loyalty to the nation. Our country is "an indestructible union of indestructible states." Our history should be so taught that the next generation will cherish the patriotism which conserves the rights of the states, and honor the patriotism which guards the supremacy of the Federal Union. If this book shall prove to be helpful to the great army of earnest and faithful teachers in making the story of our country's life, growth, and progress more real and interesting to their pupils, the hope of the authors will be amply fulfilled.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Lessons in American History In this text I have told the story of America as I think it ought to be presented to beginners. Since children are always interested in the lives of the great, I have treated the subject on its biographical side. The story centers around the men who have been leaders in American life. But the book is more than a mere series of bio graphies; it is in a true sense a history of our country's growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Country's History Realizing that a mere relation. Of dates, names and facts plays only a small part in promoting citizenship, which should be the primary object of history, we have endeavored at least in this book to connect the boys and girls with the great currents that explain and indicate the trend of our country's development. To enable the children to under stand our great achievements, institutions and problems of the present in the light of the past is to enlist their interest in history, to foster patriotism, to make more acute their sense of judgment and to inspire them with a higher degree of civic duty. Hence, in the selection, arrangement and discussion of facts we have kept constantly in mind their bearing on our life and institutions.

Download or read book First Lessons in Our Country s History Classic Reprint written by William Swinton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Lessons in Our Country's History The extension of the study of United States History into the lower grades of our schools has suggested the need of a class-book fitted to their wants. Of histories which the child may read by the mother's knee there is no lack; but this is not what is required for school study, which must not only convey impressions, but impart a certain amount Of available knowledge. In the present manual, the author has sought to supply this want. In doing so, he has aimed at two things as desirable: The first is, to bring out to prominent view the salient points of our country's history, and such only. In so great a mass of details, selec tion was necessary; for when thousands of facts are put before the child's mind, and everything is made equally important, it simply results that everything becomes equally unimportant. Hence the author has endeavored to apply the principles of historical perspective to his treatment, - to subordinate minutiae of date and place and num ber and circumstance, and bring to the foreground prominent and vital facts.

This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young People's History of Our Country T will be admitted that the history of no other country possesses so absorbing interest as our own. Although a New World, with no antiquity of government, science, or art, it presents the fruitage of the centuries of the Old World. Builded on the lessons and experiences of the ages, its fabric is one of marvellous strength, endurance, and wisdom. In its infancy it was hardened and made rugged by storm, by trial, by privation, and by suffering. The rigors of an unfriendly climate, the enmity of savages, the obstacle of vast primeval for ests, and the choice between perishing from the earth or hewing the road to success, developed the highest form of mental and bodily vigor. Slavery in the Old World taught the blessings of liberty in the New, and our forefathers laid the foundations broad and deep and strong and sure. The Revolution brought the nation into existence and gave it a sisterhood among the peoples of the earth. The War of 1812 was necessary to gain and hold the respect of all countries, and the Civil War cemented and uni hed the house once divided against itself. Beneath the furnace blast we underwent the pangs of transformation, and came forth purified by fire. In this broad, appreciative spirit all children should study the history of our country. Its most impressive lessn will be lost on those who read it as a mere story, without an understanding of the meaning of historical movements and events. Why did the Pilgrims leave their native land to plant their homes in the dismal solitudes of New England? Why did the Cavaliers settle in Virginia? What caused our forefathers to sever their allegiance to Great Britain, and undergo poverty, hunger. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Primary History of the United States: The Story of Our Country for Young Folks We feel sure that all the boys and girls who read this little book will be glad to be told about the land they live in, the great country which is known as the United States.

All of you should be glad to learn what kind of people were found in this country, how they spent their time, and what became of them. And you should seek to know what the white men did: how they cut down the great trees, and built for themselves homes, and sent ships abroad, and in time had large cities, and broad farms, and all that makes a people great.
