Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Colleges and Universities in the Great War, 1914-1919: A History The lack of adequate interpretation of the part which the American colleges, both Northern and Southern, played in the Civil War has long seemed to me a public and an academic misfortune. The possibility of filling this lack lessens with each passing year. The share which the American college and university had in the World's War was at least as significant and impressive as that which the Civil 5 War represents. Early, therefore, in the great struggle, I began to collect materials for its academic history. These materials include evidences furnished directly by hundreds of institutions, as well as the more typical sources of books, pamphlets, and newspapers. To each college officer, who has thus graciously and generously aided me, I am grateful. This history, concerned with a small social and educational group, has yet largest relations. For it helps to prove that the higher education, in the person of its teachers and students of successive generations, trains men for the service of the nation.

Since that time we have held five meetings, each lasting several days; at each of these meetings all the members of the committee have been present, except that Professor Salmon was absent in Europe during the last two. Every question involving doubt has been carefully, thoroughly, and systematically discussed, and in the conclusions here presented all the members concur.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American College, in American Life I have believed, and still believe, that through the securing of this double purpose the college may be able to be a richer blessing to this great life of which the college is a part, and which it is set to serve. No book of a kind such as this can make any pretence of being complete. This volume includes the consideration of only a few of the more vital questions. Other questions, quite as vital possibly, I hope to be able to discuss in other volumes. For the American college, like American life or the life of any progressive people, is full of infinite suggestions appealing to thought or to action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States and Its People: For the Use of Schools Questions for Study follow each chapter. These are intended, in the Questions for first place, to guide the pupil in mastering his lesson, to make him test sd' his understanding of the subject by analyzing and reasoning about his facts, and by associating them with related facts. The teacher will also find these questions helpful to him in preparing and hearing a recitation. The Study by Topics which follows the questions is meant chiefly to Study by topics. Aid the teacher in conducting a recitation, or, at least, a review ofa recita tion. The topical method of recitation develops the pupil's power of grasping and holding each branch ofa subject in its entirety. But it can not be used to the exclusion of the use of questions and answers without danger ofits degenerating, onthe one hand, into an inadequate statement, or, on the other, into a mere repetition of the words of the text-book.

This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States for Schools The aim of the authors in writing this book has been to present what seemed to them the main historical developments in American history, the knowledge of which will enable the pupil to understand 'he social, political, and economic institutions which he finds about him in this land wherein he lives. In doing this we have tried to use simple language, to show clearly the relation of one fact to another, and to keep the story constantly moving forward. We have sought to interest not by the selection of the merely entertaining facts which are often the things of least value, but by choice of the facts that have meant something in our growth as a nation. This is first of all a text-book and not a story-book. We make no apology for the omission of many of the yarns of American his tory. If history is worth teaching at all, it is worth teaching as causal, vital, meaning history. We heartily approve of reading his tory for mere pleasure. History is, we believe, in many of its high est literary forms, most delightful and valuable mere reading, but for serious study there are certain essentials which should not be disguised or palliated by facts which are only entertaining, and not essentially significant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History the United States of America: Intended for Students in Schools, Academies, Colleges, Universities and at Home, and for General Readers Except in the case of the third day's battle of Gettysburg, all de tailed narratives of the battles in the War between the States are studi ously avoided. The reason for this will commend itself to any fair mind. The works and reports on the battles and movements of that war already amount to some hundreds of thousands of pages of printed matter; and their conflicts of statement are hopelessly irreconcilable. Nevertheless, some facts are proved. The student will find in this work a record of every battle and every military movement of sufficient importance to affect the result. Enough is given to show that brilliant successes may do nothing more than prolong a war, and that the cause in which they are gained may be finally overthrown; and that a series of defeats may be the agents which finally bring triumph to the cause of the belligerent sustaining them. Every war in this world has been a war of ideas, and a Divine Power has been shaping their ends. This work has no maps nor parts of maps of any kind. It is a work on history and not on geography. Whenever relative localities become impor tant in history it is best to describe them in words. Some general knowledge Of geography, and of maps illustrating it, is a necessary preliminary to the intelligent study of any history, and especially of American history; but the maps ought not to be in the book of history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the United States of America: For the Use of Schools The History of the United States, by Charles A. Goodrich, has been too long and too favorably known to the public to' need any special introduction. But the country has passed through the most momentous years of its history since the last edition of that excellent and popular work was prepared, and to continue it to the present time, and yet keep the book Within the proper limits of a text-book for schools, it has been necessary to rearrange and rewrite the earlier chapters to such an extent that the present revision differs as much from former editions as several of the school histories in common use differ from each other. In this edition the text is presented in type of two sizes. The matter in the larger type, by itself; forms a connected history, and may be sufficient for schools in which but a limited time can be devoted to the study; that in the smaller type goes more into detail, and may be made a part of the lessons for rigid preparation, or be merely read in connection with the closer study of the larger type, or be omitted altogether, at the option of the teacher. At the end of each Period is given a general view of the condition, not only of the original thirteen colonies, or what was, at the time, the United States, but of what has since been annexed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of History in Secondary Schools, 1911: Report to the American Historical Association We have made a new study of the conditions in the schools, and have entered once again into a careful consideration of the history curriculum. The Report of the Committee of Seven, however, has necessarily been our starting-point; we were appointed to determine what modifications, if any, were needed in the recommendations of the earlier Committee. This task could not be performed without interpreting the Report; and in some instances interpretation or emphasis appeared more desirable than any very distinct modification. In the following pages, therefore, we present, not only our own recommendations for change, but also what appears to us to be the proper or the most helpful and useful construction of the work of the Committee of Seven. II. The Report of the Committee of Seven In 1899, when the Committee of Seven published its Report, the schools were ready for decided change in the curriculum and for advance in methods. The Report appears to have judged the general situation correctly, and, in the main, to have recommended steps that the schools were prepared to take.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States During recent years there has been much written and much said about making the study of history and civics in the ele mentary schools something more than committing to memory dates, facts and events. Many newspapers and educational journals and many of those educators Who talk publicly on school questions have criticised severely the results secured from the time devoted to history and civics in the grammar schools. The method used and the lack of proper preparation on the part of the teacher have been held responsible for the poor results secured in these subjects. It has been customary to hold the teacher responsible for the method used and for her poor preparation, and thus to place the entire blame on her. Many have promptly and justly replied that they cannot be expected to expend from two to three thousand dollars in securing a higher education for the purpose of receiving the small salaries paid in the elementary schools. They have also replied - and this is even more to the point - that not being specialists in history and civics, they cannot, With any degree of success, teach these subjects by the topical method When every grammar school history text-book in print adopts, almost entirely, the cut and-dried chronological-event method. In relation to all these conditions, special attention is called to the fact that in this book the topical treatment is used Without any reserve What ever. No teacher can use this book as a text-book and use any other than the topical method, and no pupil can study this book without becoming interested in the real spirit of our history and having cultivated in him the desire to perform to the best of his ability the duties of American citizenship.
