Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of American History for Elementary Schools Some sort of a first book on American history is now quite generally used in schools as a preparation for the more intelligent study of a larger and more formal text-book in the higher grammar grades. For beginners, a mere compilation of facts is dry and unsatisfactory. Such books have now given place, for the most part, to those prepared on a more attractive and judicious plan. The real aim in a first book should be to interest boys and girls in the history of their country, and to encourage them to cultivate a taste for further study and reading. This book is intended for use in the earlier grammar grades and to be preliminary to the study of a more advanced work in the higher grades. The author has also kept in mind the fact that the school life of many children is brief, and that all their instruction in Amer ican history must come from a text-book of this kind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hero Stories From American History: For Elementary Schools This book is intended to be used as a supplementary historical reader for the sixth and seventh grades of our public schools, or for any other pupils from twelve to fifteen years of age. It is also designed for collateral reading in connection with the study of a formal text-book on American history. The period here included is the first fifty years of our national life. No attempt has been made, however, to present a connected account, or to furnish a birds-eye view, of this half century. It is the universal testimony of experienced teachers that such materials as are pervaded with reality serve a useful purpose with young pupils. The reason is plain. Historical matter that is instinct with human life attracts and holds the attention of boys and girls, and whets their desire to know more of the real meaning of their country's history. For this reason the authors have selected rapid historical narratives, treating of notable and dramatic events, and have embellished them with more details than is feasible within the limits of most schoolbooks. Free use has been made of personal incidents and anecdotes, which thrill us because of their human element, and smack of the picturesque life of our forefathers. It has seemed advisable to arrange the subjects in chronological order. As the various chapters have appeared in proof, they have been put to a practical test in the sixth grade in several grammar schools.

Download or read book Old World Background to American History written by Samuel Bannister Harding and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old World Background to American History: An Elementary History for the Grades or Junior High School With or without a League of Nations, the Great War has forced us all to think more internationally. It has been a world war in the number and distribution of its participants, and it has left us an inescapable legacy of world problems. To the schools comes the task of preparing the rising generation to play its part worthily in the new conditions. Without lessening the emphasis on our national ideals and duties, and the instruction which makes for sturdy Americanism, the boys and girls who will be the citizens of the future must be led to see the Old World background against which our New World problems are projected. To accomplish this there is no means so good as a brief but comprehensive survey of European history, from the earliest dawn of civilization to the present time. The present book is a version and adaptation of an earlier one, first published in 1912, under the title The Story of Europe, and planned along the lines recommended by the Committee of Eight for the Sixth Grade. The new book differs from the old in part by the addition, at the beginning, of a chapter dealing with man's earliest history, and of three chapters at the end surveying the course of the last three centuries, culminating in the Great War. It is hoped that in the new form and under the new needs the book may prove as successful as formerly in meeting the old needs. For the convenience of schools which may wish to deal with the stories of Greece and Rome in an earlier grade, the separation of parts is clearly marked in the table of contents. S. B. H.
