This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History, Government and Geography of Carbon County, Pennsylvania Our education to-day lacks thoroughness. Children are taught a great many things not necessary for them to know, and they are not properly grounded in things that are essential. The lawmakers, the newspapers, the business men, and the general public are about unanimous on this point. The opinion is general that children on leaving school have accumulated a wide variety of information which helps them but little, if at all, toward making a living or of being of service to any one. Schools should be modified to overcome these Objections. Many portions of the common branches do not in any vital way touch the life Of industry which most of the children will want to, or will have to live. It is possible to select the absolute essentials which form the basis of later school work as well as of practical life, and make these the subject matter Of instruction. SO much of what is unessential may be filtered out, that time may be found to do well and thoroughly what is really necessary, and yet leave time for the introduction of things which will fit children more directly for service. We must not continue to turn children out of school who are utterly unequipped for their duties, or who have only the vaguest notions of anything that is useful.

Burrowes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from State-Book of Pennsylvania: Containing an Account of the Geography, History, Government, Resources, and Noted Citizens of the State; With a Map of the State and of Each County Consisting, as it almost Wholly does, of a description of things, and a statement of facts, there is no room for invention and little for novelty in its composition. In the scope and arrangement of its materials, however, a considerable departure from the beaten track will be discovered. The counties are not treated in alphabetical order, but in classes, accord ing to their form of surface, productions, and historical relation. The strongly marked distinctive features of each group suggested this idea; and a desire to aid the learner by a rational and easily remembered divi sion of the subject of study induced its adoption. To carry out the design, a small state map, in addition to the separate county maps, has been con structed with the classes of counties marked upon it. The advantage of the change must be very small, if it do not compensate the learner for the loss of that easiness of reference, which is the only sound reason that can be urged in favour of the alphabetical arrangement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Centuries of Pennsylvania History Pennsylvania justly merits the proud title, "The Keystone State." Her history more than her geography gave her commanding relations to the sister colonies clustered along the western margin of the Atlantic. Her great founder and first English owner, William Penn, is the noblest character in America's colonial history. In Pennsylvania every creed and every nationality was not only tolerated but welcomed. Her colonial life was more complex than that of any sister colony. To mould this life, so unlike in nationality, in religion, in civic ideals, and in industrial experience, into a unified people is one of the noblest records in the annals of any nation. To the credit of her people this was done without persecution and without coercion. Three great groups of people laid the foundations of the Commonwealth. The Quakers, under the great Penn, occupied the territory within a radius of thirty-five miles, giving themselves to commerce in Philadelphia and to agriculture in the fertile valleys of Bucks, Chester, and adjacent counties. Beyond these, in a zone fifty miles wide, settled the sturdy and patient Germans, giving birth to German-American literature, establishing Protestant missions among the Indians, tilling with signal success the fair acres of Berks, Lancaster, Lebanon, Cumberland, and contiguous counties, founding the great textile industries of the Schuylkill Valley, and developing a home life unique for its strength and its simplicity. Beyond these, in the valleys between the Blue and the Alleghany Mountains, lived the sturdy Scotch-Irish pioneers, pushing the frontier to the Ohio Valley, repelling Indian attacks, provoking strife by their restless haste to penetrate the wilderness, and establishing churches and schools in every valley and upon every hill-top of the interior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Pennsylvania When historical societies for study and research in Pennsylvania history - local and general - are multi plying all over the State, no apology is needed for writing a book on the subject. Pennsylvania has a history of more than two centuries. It consists, like that 'of the other States which separated from Great Britiain to form the American Union, of a Colonial, a Revolutionary, and a Constitutional period. It has always been a part of another history: first of Eng land, and then of the United States. This is true, not alone in a nominal, but in a real sense. United States history, whether its political, social, or indus trial side, is of a composite nature. Every State helps to make it. The contribution of the thirteen original States is the greatest, because they have a Colonial and 'a Revolutionary history. In Pennsyl vania these periods are especially interesting and im portant, though they have been sadly neglected.
